Film Theory: Marvel's Ant-Man Could KILL Us All!

so I asked Ant-Man the other day if he had change for a dollar, you know what he said, sorry, I'm a little short, you stink. Hello Internet, welcome to the cinema. Theory where, thank God, our science is better than our jokes. uh Marvel, they are something important, huh. I guess it's fair to say, since they redefined comic book movies, made Mega stars out of unknown characters, and completely changed the way we watch movies, not too bad, but even with all of their successes, I'd say Ant-Man maybe one of his biggest and safest Avengers was a game changer and Guardians was an instant hit, but Ant-Man literally had nothing going for him, not even a sarcastic raccoon, I mean seriously, Ant-Man, the character is an unknown, the production.

It was a disaster and even the trailer was kind of generic, honestly, I went to see it simply because you can only play Solitaire for so long before the loneliness starts to weigh on your cold, dead heart, alone forever, but a crippling loneliness, Damn, I was impressed. the characters were lovable, the action was very clever, and it gave me a new respect for Baskin Robbins. Basin Robbins always figures it out, but on top of that sweet 31-flavor ice cream on Sunday it was the delicious cherry of science because in trying to create a perfectly valid explanation for Ant-Man's ability to shrink and make Marvel grow without realizing it that he created the strongest and most devastating superhero in his on-screen universe so far.

If the events of the

film

had been real, Ant-Man would have destroyed the planet. It's a detail that Marvel overlooked, but like Baskin Robins I always discover it, so Scott Lang, Ant-Man has the ability to shrink and increase in size. This is explained by the use of pin particles, a rare group of subatomic particles that reduce or they increase the distance between atoms or the distance between parts of the atom now, that may seem crazy, but the scientific basis is totally plausible. You already know that everything around you is made of atoms. Well, atoms are mostly made of empty space.

Take, for example, the hydrogen atom, which is about 999999999999 6% empty, that's a lot. of nines, which brings us to a mind-blowing fact: if you squeezed all the space out of the atoms in the human body, you

could

fit the particles of the entire human race inside a sugar cube, in which all the particles of humanity

could

exist. a volume so small and sweet that it literally begs the question if your body is made mostly of empty space. Why can't your hand pass the computer screen well? As you know? Have you tried it now that you really know the truth? the screen you just have to believe that I'm obviously trolling stop smearing your screen of course your hand can't go through it you think that watching a YouTube video is going to change decades of physics that you know from personal experience I appreciate your faith in me, but unfortunately I still don't have the ability to bend the physical realities of reality, but that being said, it's crazy that the moment you touch the screen, you weren't actually touching it, but instead you're sitting there not touching it. that either you're floating above it, the electrons in the chair are repelling the electrons in your butt, the negative charges repel each other, which is why despite it being mostly empty space, all you overly eager young people don't They'll be able to get through the walls of the girls' locker room anytime soon, how dare you respect their privacy?

But what it does mean is that, in

theory

, if pin particles could increase or decrease the distance between atoms, they could conceivably work. Fake science makes sense. Almost the movie explicitly says that pin. Particles only change the distance between atoms, they don't actually change the number of atoms, what that means is that when they change the size of an object, the mass remains the same, that is, the amount of matter that the object has, also known as the number of atoms. If Scott's mass stays the same but his volume shrinks or expands, what's really changing is that his density is equal to mass divided by volume, and altering this completely changes every event you see in the movie, including give Scott the ability to destroy the planet.

Let's look at, for example, the multiple times pin particles are used to increase the size of objects. The two that immediately came to mind are the giant ant and the Thomas the Tank Engine toy. These moments near the end of the movie were unexpected. and absolutely hilarious, the most creative humor I've seen in a movie in a long time, but real-life physics would have made them even more ridiculous. On average, ants only tend to have a mass of about 3 Mig, but PIN particles now expand that 3 mg of mass to a human-sized volume that's about 66.4 L (67.4 if you include my daily liter). of Diet Coke and throw it at D is equal to MV means that the density of the ant would be 04 mg per liter, what is it? that means, consider this, the density of air is 1200 mg per liter, that ant would be lighter than air, it would literally float like a giant, creepy ant balloon, the same would be true for the giant Thomas the Tank Engine, Forget about breaking into the house and smashing that police car, the thing would just drift away like a bouncy castle caught in a breeze.

By the way, that sort of thing has actually been a pretty serious problem across the country, not Rogue like tank engines, but bouncy castles in the breeze in 2011 alone. at least 10 bouncy castles floated away or collapsed because they were not tied correctly, injuring more than 40 people. It's like a twisted version of Up for parents to remember that guns don't

kill

people. This public service announcement is brought to you by the

film

. To make a long story short of the theoretical Council for Public Safety, randomly throwing those enlarging shurikens would result in some pretty strange balloon-like creatures, and of course the opposite effect would also occur if you took something big and heavy and You'll use pin particles to make it much smaller, say for example.

For example, a tank on a keychain, perhaps after doing the research, the particular tank that Hank Pim uses as a keychain was a Soviet t34 combat vehicle that weighed approximately 26.5 tons. I don't think it's necessary to explain how much weight on a keychain could be a bit difficult to carry, it would probably ruin a pair of pants or two if you kept them in your pocket; However, the shirt wouldn't be the only thing that would be a problem if it were shrunken like in the movie. our lovable hero Scott Lang throughout the movie, Scott takes advantage of his new size to sneak into various places, whether it's riding ants or hiding in clothes or whatever, okay, so let's say Scott weighs about 200 pounds Pure muscle.

There was no way Anthony or any of the other ants could support that amount of weight. I mean, ants can lift 5000 times their own mass, don't get me wrong, but when your mass is only 3 Mig, that's still, just 15 G Scott and 200 lb would have a mass of about 90,000 G, it would crush them a lot before they went into battle and I'd forget all those scenes where Ant-Man climbs on people or lands on his gun or whatever putting so much weight on a small surface could have pretty devastating consequences. The film briefly plays with this idea when Scott puts on the suit for the first time and tries it on, he falls out of the bathtub and when he lands on the bathroom floor tiles you can see them.

They visibly crack under their weight, then quickly forget this little scientific detail, but now imagine Scott punches a guy in the face when he's the size of an ant because his fist would be a super dense ball of mass concentrated on an incredibly small surface area. from his hand. It would be like the tip of a knife to a needle that would easily pierce the skin of his enemies. If he were to run and jump towards someone, there is a high chance that it would function like a bullet, a dense ball of mass that blasts its way through his enemy. but that doesn't even scratch the surface of Scott's true power now that we're in the real madness of what he can do at the end of the movie.

Scott must turn off the regulator on his suit, the device that protects him from shrinking too much to squeeze. between the molecules of Yellow Jacket's energy pack, he does this so he can save his daughter, but by doing so, he would have created a black hole. Now, when you think of black holes, images of giant planets eating tears in space-time, stars probably come to mind. bodies with unimaginable mass have died and collapsed in on themselves, yet any amount of mass can become a black hole if it becomes dense enough. This is illustrated in a concept known as the Schwarz infant radius, basically this is the radius of a sphere that if all the mass of an object were compressed within that sphere, the escape velocity would be equal to the speed of light, everything within this radius becomes a black hole, so did the calculations and assuming that Scott weighs about 200 pounds and has a mass of about 90 kg, he would reach enough density to become a black hole if reduced to a radius about 1.3*10-22mm, which is small on film.

Scott turns off the safety switch on his suit and shrinks rapidly, shrinking beyond the cells and molecules we see. then I see it shrink beyond the size of an atom, but it's still not small enough, but luckily for us, it keeps going the way this scene is designed, it gets smaller than quarks, which is a elementary particle, that is, particles that are not composed of any other smaller substance, at least we have not yet identified what those smaller substances are, quarks are the pieces that make up protons and neutrons, but it gets smaller, but when it finally stops shrinking, it's surrounded by these strange flat crystal-like structures. like fractals or a super cool display saber, it's now clear what exactly they are, but from their design they appear to be an artistic representation of strings from string

theory

, it's a long story what exactly they are and best left for another theory, so Let's say this between them and the Scott quarks at this point is really small, as small as 10 to the power of -32 mm, which considering its mass is small enough to create the density that we need to form a black hole and here it is the really fun part, wouldn't this be a mini black hole that would dissipate in a fraction of a second this would in fact be a very viable black hole black holes Decay by a process known as Hawking radiation named after Steven Hawking as you can imagine The more mass the black hole has, it can remain viable longer and begin to absorb more mass to grow according to medium.com.

The smallest amount of mass a black hole could remain viable with is 2 G, but remember we have almost 200 pounds of sexy Paul Rud to feed our little black baby. hole that gives it enough mass to survive Hawking radiation. The decay and long time to start absorbing particles from around him will eventually grow so large that it would swallow the world as we know it, the brutal irony here is that by trying to save his daughter's life, Scott Lang would have doomed not only his life. but the entire planet, including all our ant balloons and tank keychains, so suck Thor, even your godlike powers are no match for Ant-Man.

Is it too late to change the name? But hey, that's just it. a theory, a movie, Theory and Cut, oh, and I should mention that the end of the movie glosses over the fact that Scott's Adams can actually shrink smaller than the atoms themselves, if the pin particles just shrink the space between the atoms, so the size that Scott shrinks to is actually impossible according to the explanation you get in the movie he is still made of atoms, the particles that themselves don't shrink, it's the space between them that means that it can't reach those crazy small sizes, sorry Marvel, you better continue with the explanation of the comics
