Thanks for watching! If your brain feels broken, you're not alone, trust me. *IMPORTANT CORRECTION* We'll get to this in the next Footnotes, but you don't actually need to "go sub-atomic" to experience quantum effects, at least in theory, and Ant-Man wouldn't even be able to get that small, considering that no matter how close his atoms get together, he still has atoms. I apologize for furthering the common misconception that "going quantum" is simply a matter of how big you are. -- KH

[@dude123446]

it be awesome tho if you could combine the hulk powers with ant-mans suit and that would actually make him even more powerful

[@tranl1050]

What if the Pym particle changes what the particle experiences as space? i.e. If the particle is shrunk by a factor of 10^6, then the particle would experience 1 μm as 1 m. In this case, quarks could exist much closer together and the bosons (gluons) connecting them together, even though the distance is smaller, may take longer to travel that smaller distance because it still experiences the same distance as if it were normal size. In the same way, the electrons and the nucleus could come much closer but not make contact because they experience the distance as if they were at normal size. It could be like the opposite of the universal expansion. The Pym particle could cause spatial contraction in a localized area.

[@GameTimeWhy]

[@jballerlol]

Pym particles control mass, density and size so that ant man isn't destroying everything

[@giggityguy]

Antman also probably has a slightly less powerful, but more understandable ability. Based on the fictional explanation of how Pym particles work, that is, reducing the amount of space between atoms, we have to consider how that works. Nearly all of the volume of an atom is empty space, in which electrons can appear with various probabilities and discreet energy levels. The reason atoms can't get closer together is because of the electric repulsion of these electrons, so they don't ever overlap. The only feasible way that atoms can get closer together is if the electrons don't take up as much space, moving closer to the nucleus. However, smart boi Niels Bohr theorized that electrons can only have discreet amounts of energy, and when an electron moves from a higher energy state to a lower one (and incidentally getting closer to the nucleus), it releases a very specific amount of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. So if we accept that the electrons are moving into lower orbits to reduce the amount of space between them, they must release a lot of EM energy. So every time Ant-Man or The Wasp or any other object shrunk down, around 7x10^27 atoms are all moving to a lower energy state, and would all release a certain amount of light at the same time. Ant-Man would briefly turn into the brightest neon sign in the universe, probably blinding or possibly frying everyone in the immediate vicinity with huge amounts of heat and light.

[@tusharanand6301]

giggityguy this comment needs more likes

[@tusharanand6301]

Ant-Man (also known as stun granade) 🤣🤣

[@Anonymous18531]

I think the comic book explanation is that the mass/energy (same thing because E=mc^2) gets shunted into another dimension during shrinking, then extracted during growing.

[@Galacticat42]

Then likewise when he grows. Would he implode energy into himself?

[@globyrain3339]

If this the case, Antman would also need a sufficient amount of energy to return his electrons back to their original levels or higher ones. This would mean that the Antman suit is the largest and most powerful battery known to man

Joshua Hillerup he never misses which at least implies he either predicts or directly influences all possible trajectories of a given projectile.

Imagine being hit by infinite arrows for ever coming from everywhere and nowhere.

[@robbyhenton8038]

Thanos is nearly invulnerable it would just turn Ant Man to mush inside him

[@embercillemage9775]

Xydez yeah but wouldn't not be able to go back to original size due to all the unrecoverable atoms he lost in the shrinking process? He'd have to lose/shrink his atoms in order to shrink himself. If he were to try and go back to original size, he'd barely make up his eye.....if he could go back. If this were the case, shrinking and going back would make him lesser and lesser in size. We're talking waaaaaaaayyyyy smaller than atoms and so much more......so on so on🤔how would he even be existing? He'd be too small for consciousness and etcetera, wouldn't he? It's basically like erasing yourself for eternity into an non-existent void of an abyss to never live again nor be remembered or even register to anything including your own self.

[@gurpremsingh]

My biggest question is what kind of material would be able to store pym particles. Wouldn't it shrink the container itself?

[@meepthemonsterjxh1893]

Gurprem Singh you’re smart

[@PhoenixNL72-DEGA-]

Probably in a similar way you would store anti matter, in a vacuum container holding the particles in the middle with a magnetic force field so they don't touch the matter of the container itself. (But knowing Marvel they will probably have thought up a solution with Vibranium or some other outlandish material that isn't affected by the particle)

[@stephanieleddington992]

What if the container is already shrunken.

[@gurpremsingh]

Robert Phoenix hmm wow I didn't know that.

[@renxybaluyot9822]

Stephanie Leddington woah!

[@NewtsOnAcid]

Ant man's logic makes no sense in our universe, even with the explination given in the movies. No matter how close atoms get they wouldn't be able to shrink smaller than other atoms -that would imply that they overlap. Not to mention the synapses in Scott's brain would cease to exist, which would kill him. My theory is that Pym particles basically move the object they touch into a different layer of reality, then shrink that layer like you would do in Photoshop. That way, the layer the object is moved into retains all the rules of our universe without killing anyone or creating singularities.

[@AlfiRizkyR]

Nappa Zappa the Kappa Tappa the Rappa so basically subspacing and somehow overlapping that space with ours? This would make a lot more sense than relative atomic distance, really.

[@davidbodor1762]

yes, its pretty much confirmed that Hank Pym never told anyone not even his daughter how his invention actually works. Scott Lang is a random guy without a science background he told him something roughly believable as an excuse, but kept the real way his tech works secret.

The incosticeny in Ant-Man is strong. When he gets smaller , he stays strong as a human but gets denser, if he gets bigger his strength gets bigger and his density and mass seems to rise or stay the same. . When he makes a truck small as a toy, it ways the same, but the moment he makes something small bigger it seems to get mass.

ToabyToastbrot don't forget he has colony of ants, imagine colony of ants and every ants the size of a house it would wile out the entire thanos army

[@TheKazragore]

inconsistency*

[@ascendingdemon4801]

You also forget that the explanation in the MCU is of Disney (my theory is in the eighties Dr. Wayne Szalinski worked for Pym industries) ..in the comics it was similar to that but also what was extra went into a pocket dimension (that might be a cop out to but somewhat explains it more). Also Scott's a thief to which Hank trusts but not with all his secrets I'm sure and only told him what would convince him to help

[@dweller132]

You might be onto something there. Taking the science behind Ant-Man's strength and applying it to the truck would mean that he wouldn't be able to lift it whether it was small or normal size. Only if he were larger and the truck was normal size. Or if the truck was as small as his ant-sized form. Although, I could imagine him driving a tiny truck that way.

[@Tengu125]

[@philiptite1082]

It would be fun to apply these insights to other Marvel "mini" characters that engage alternative realities or quantum physics. I'm thinking of the Micronaunts (the old comics) and Hyperion (Squadron Sinister).

[@philiptite1082]

Just to add to my comment, having re-watched this episode, I wanted to raise the comic book concept (not in the film I think) that when Pym grows he "borrows" mass from another dimension. I assume as he gets smaller, the reverse works (to balance the mass problem going in that direction). This seems to be a kind of "pocket" dimension to hold or borrow mass. So in the comics there is no mass problem. I'd love to hear how this concept fits or doesn't fit with quantum mechanics. ... because, you know, science ('nuff said). :)

[@zacharysmith8206]

Quick question for you. So if the larger the mass of an object the more it affects the gravitational time so if the larger the object with its gravitational pull it would mean that time on the surface of the object would be slower and anything not within the gravitational pull of the object would move at a faster rate, so with that as a factor what would happen to a person per se if they were born on a planet with a much much higher mass then say that of the earth and through the evolution of said persons species would adapt to that environment what would be the outcome of that person if they were to land on earth? Would they still be existing as the same time time in which they and their species adapted too if they were to live here or would they immediately adapt to our space time differential and exist on the same time plane as we do? Or would they not only move but age at an accelerated rate then us due to the adaptations needed in order to survive where they were born in the first place? And if they were to adapted to another plain of time because of said adaptations would they be considered 4th demintional beings due to them existing on a different time plane then us? And if that was the case could the same laws be applied to us as a species because of the differential gravitational pull of the earth on not only us but everything that exists on the planet, IE, things we observe because of our size appearing as microscopes actually existing in a different time differential then us and as such appearing to have a quicker lifespan because they exists in that different time?

You know, the mass problem has been addressed in the comics. It's often mentioned that one of the properties of Pym particles allows for the acquisition or shunning of mass from/to another dimension (pocket universe?). I'm not sure why some version of this hasn't been alluded to in the movies.

Smoothies. I've been blending up smoothies every morning before work, throwing in a variety of fruits, vegetables, kale leaf, a little honey. It gives you a huge boost of energy and it's a great way to start your day. The bad part comes from the fact that that blender is so damn loud, and whenever I use it it wakes up my dad, who usually goes straight to the garage and grabs that dirty old set of jumper cables which he uses to beat me like a rented mule until I'm halfway unconscious on the floor. It's a horrible drawback. But I've been so used to having that smoothie every morning that I can't seem to break the habit. It's a really great way to start your day.

I don't understand much from this video, but at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="645">10:45</a> when he started describing Ant man gaining the ability to pick and choose within the randomness of quantum mechanics where he'd want to come in and out of reality from I took pride in my ability. Because I thought of a story concept for my character based on my very limited understanding of "Quantum Tunneling" and generating my own understanding of what "Quantum acceleration" would be and if it's even true. In this theory, the character would control absolute randomness of quantum mechanics, as in quantum tunneling and the evanescent Wave and so on, we cannot predict where the Electron is. So she'd basically spawn wherever the electron is, or any electron in random places anywhere through quantum acceleration or tunneling and be literally impossible to track or beat. The idea sounded just like this

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON HOW AN ALCUBIERRE DRIVE (warp drive from the Star Trek Universe) could be used as a weapon. For example, if the space is compressed in front of the ship and expanded behind relative to a bubble of space within where the occupants of the ship feels all the laws of space/time relativity the same as we do now sitting at our computers, the space that's effected outside the (safe bubble) would be subjected to extreme expansion and contraction so hypothetically a ship with its weapons destroyed and on the verge of being overrun with Borg could just engage their warp field and if they were within a certain proximity, it would basically crush/implode/explode the opposing ship. I've seen NO other videos on this, this idea has intrigued me for years now and I'd love if you could see this comment and possibly mention it or do an actual video on it because I think that would also peak minds in many others. Thanks! John

Interesting that the MCU is beating DCEU to the punch and making Ant-Man have the Atom's capabilities.

[@ironicdutchmoonshade1394]

Ant-Man would not be able to shrink to quantum level though. Because he is made of a lot of atoms, he cannot get smaller than an atom. If he even tried this, he would die before he got there because his atoms can at one point not move closer to each other due to the Pauli exclusion principle, so to shrink even further he would need to overcome the electron degeneracy pressure, merging his electrons and protons into neutrons, destroying all the systems in his body and turning into a tiny neutron star.

[@Laerei]

By the looks of it, Pym particles not only decrease distances between particles like electrons but also particles themselves. Yeah, it still doesn't make much sense buuuut, it's just a movie meant to entertain common people, not make sense to scientists.

[@snitchbug]

Bro I have Been thinking this the whole time, like how can you go among atoms if you are yourself made of atoms.

Dang he just described the next avengers movie!!!!

[@RocksmithPdl]

So basically in Avengers Endgame, Ant man gives the remaining avengers ( maybe cap, iron man and thor) a suit just like his to go to the quantum realm and on one of those different paths of the world line back to before the snap. Maybe this time thor goes to the head which is why they had thanos mention it in the movie cause it was actually gonna play a big role in endgame not just to taunt thor.

[@coatsmcgoats4719]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="566">9:26</a> Always wondered how he would lose his mass when he shrinks, but I think I can answer that finally. If shrinking like that was a thing, that is. According to a recent Anton Petrov video I watched, mass is generated by gluons as they hold atoms together. Since the distance the gluon travels is proportional to distance traveled. He may very well be actually shrinking, and not just compressing.

"It sounds intuitive, but let's toss some QM and make heads explode!" Sorry, couldn't resist. Also, and I'm going to give you a pass on this because QM is hard to understand and way harder to explain well. But, a photon doesn't take every path that it can (in fact, almost all the paths possible would require it going much much faster than c). The path we detect it on is simply the most likely path.

[@minhkhangtran6948]

It's not only the most likely path too, it's the path of least time, due to a strange quirk with it wave property. The explanation is over my level to explain though.

[@assasing123sleep9]

Photons having no mass are not time constrained though nor time dependant, the photon can be to the end of hte universe and back and for it, time was a non factor, what cannot travel faster than light is information.

[@SlimThrull]

assasing: True, but since photons carry information they are constrained by the laws of physics.

[@thejusunnivelan7193]

So if we take an extra slowmotion camera would more light be detected than to the normal eye?

[@LeOnIdAs162]

I think he was referring to the Many Worlds interpretation... QM has many theories of explanation to why stuff happens the way they do in the quantum world

[@TDG2654]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="187">3:07</a> the worldline you drew is incorrect. If you were to go from moving to standstill, the worldline would go from having some slope to being vertical again, not moving back in space. For the worldline to move back, you're speed has to be negative.
