A machine that settles any argument about whether something can get smaller.
means A machine or device that crushes, grinds, or smashes something into powder or fine fragments.
from Built from the verb 'pulverize,' which comes from Latin 'pulverizare,' rooted in 'pulvis' meaning dust or powder (the same root that gives English 'pulverize' and distantly 'powder' itself, via Old French). The '-izer' ending is the standard English/Latin suffix for 'thing that does the action' — so a pulverizer is, quite literally, a 'dust-maker.'
