Because it's maaaaagic.
And because, as Sonic X showed, Knuckles running around carrying a full size Master Emerald is just plain goofy.

The ONLY decent game to come out of Sonic's fifteenth year was Riders

Fanon believes that since Knuckles is the Master Emerald's guardian, he's able to shrink it down to portable size when carrying it around. It would explain how he just whipped it out from nowhere during the ARK incident in SA2.

"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarRiders is a racing game it dosent need a plot (it was still better though)
http://www.youtube.com/user/Soniman032?feature=mhumWell "chaos" power has the ability to bend time and space, so really the Master emerald being able to change mass isn't that big of a deal?
In fact, "chaos" power could very mean in general the power to defy natural order, and chaos control is merely defying the order of time, granting one some control over it.

Wasn't Tail's original age a lot younger than they eventually decided he was? They could semi-Mythology Gag by having that original age be the age he was when he and Sonic first met.
... Let's just hope it's not a literal Ass Pull.
Then again, the Chaos Emeralds seem to be stored into Hammerspace all the time anyhow...
And apparently, Tails' tail fur is Hammerspace too.
@Tails' age: didn't you all tell me he was 8 in the other thread?
