I think that each unit portrayed in the game, in real life, wouldn't simply represent a single unit, but rather a batallion, squad, or something. This, of course, would exclude units like the Carrier, Battlecruiser, Broodlord, etc. Because if each map is a world, or whatever, it would just make sense to assume that each unit represents a greater army.

^ Thats how I think about it too. Its fun to think that 140 vs 150 food battle is symbolizing a much larger battle. It also makes it easier to explain things like "Where did that scv get the materials for the bunker all the way across the map?" or "Why is that tank bigger than the ramp it just drove down out of the factory?" also my favorite "How is that jetlike aircraft hovering in place?"

If you go with the squad/battalion representation of each unit then that scv is actually a small army of construction vehicles creating a bunker out of whatever they haul with them and salvage/harvest from their surroundings. The tank is really a squad of artillery/tanks driving down that ramp. The Viking is actually a large fleet of Vikings on patrol in a quadrant, similarly a large group of stationary vikings can be thought of a HUGE fleet of Vikings on patrol over a large quadrant.

It would be so cool if they went with some spherical maps to simulate true planet-scale warfare. I'd hate to be the guy who had to design that minimap though.
The reaction of boron-11 and plain hydrogen produces all its energy in the form of charged particles which can be directed by a magnetic field, but the reaction is very difficult to sustain and many fusion physicists doubt it will ever prove practical
