Is Ant-Man Secretly the Most Powerful Avenger? 

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

"This is potentially time travel!" Looks like the Endgame writers were listening.

He just spoiled Endgame A Year before the film released WOW

Wow, Thor is explaining quantum mechanics.

You predicted #Endgame 9 months in advance. :O

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.

Nice seeing Thor making RU-vid videos

“Return your energy to the universe” *sniff* that’s beautiful, bruh.

I love how this video literally predicted Endgame

Ant-Man turn small Ant-Man go into Thanos ear Ant-Man turn big Ant-Man win

But how does Ant-man even breathe even though he is smaller than molecules of oxygen in his sub-atomic size??

So did Kyle just predict the plot of Endgame before the title was even announced?

I still cant wrap my head on how he draws and write on that transparent board backwards. PRECISELY.

How is Thor speaking about quantum mechanics but doesn’t know the difference between a rabbit and a raccoon smh

Damn and that’s how time travel work In endgame

I would call you the strongest avenger but you didn't aim for the head.

You know what, you just spoiled Avengers Endgame.

Did you know someone who knew Ant-Man will be important in Endgame? Or, are you a time traveler?

Doctor strange can see the futures but ant man can chose them

I forgot this was an ant man video. Literally had to think about why I was watching this

Now i'm getting REALLY interested in quantum mechanics

"Aiming for the head now?"😂😂😂😂 nice one!

if i watched this a year ago i would've been so hyped when ant-man said "time travel"

Well, I mean technically, he is the most powerful Avenger alive currently in the MCU, because, you know, the post-credit scene.

thor is telling us about ant man

This is still my favorite explanation you have done. I love your ability to appreciate a concept like this

That equation 8:05 depends only on mass, not volume (size). If Ant-Man keeps his mass he can't interact with the quantum world for the same reason we can't.

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

Endgame just happened...... I'm impressed.

That's not how you spell "Hawkeye".

I mean technically the Wasp would also be the most powerful Avenger, since she has the exact same power set

He predicted the endgame plot

Dude.......you totally predicted End Game.

Yay AntMan getting some love!

This was, by a large stretch, my favorite episode to date, by about 9 mins in I had to pause and have a good long stare at the ceiling, now the episode is over its time for some serious followup reading. GJ Kyle, you have stolen an evening with a 14 min video.

The rat in endgame solved the avengers problem.

Next video: Aqua Man is overpowered

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.

First time watching and finding about this channel. Omg.. I love the explanations

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

But can he quantize, that is to say, teleport as seen in Gundam 00?

The first Because Science that I didn't understand from start to finish lol still awesome though

This dude just predicted endgame

The day I make it to footnotes will be the day Kyle gets a casting call from The Expanse people

Is Kyle secretly Thor’s brother?

This show is becoming a pop culture version of PBS digital studios and I love it.

"Aiming for the head now?" Yup

I thought you, Thor, were the strongest Avenger and Revenger?

Why you look like Thor tho????

Batman is the most powerful Avenger as he takes us on field trips on the Magic Millennium Enterprise to Prehistoric Park while hiding his secret identity as Isaac deGrasse Einstein the Science Boi.

I’m pretty sure “quantum mechanics” is just a fancy name for making everything needlessly complicated

Came in expecting a video about superhero movies Left with an existential crisis

If you're drifting in a featureless black void would you be able to tell that you've grown or shrunk without any point of reference?

Kyle is basically saying all Marvel heroes are really OP if science is applied.

I hear Worldlines and immediately think of Steins;Gate

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

So Ant-Man is basically Flashpoint waiting to happen.

Dr strange just traveled to the quantum realm in the "open your eye" scene, can he also do all of that? doesnt that make him the actual strongest avenger?

Love the Richard Feynman shout out. “If you think you understand quantum physics, you don’t understand quantum physics.”

Does Dr. Strange not have control over the quantum realm in order to do his 'magic?' How would Ant Man and Dr. Strange compare in that way, and who would win in a fight?

This video is basically mix between Game Theory and Minute Physics

"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.

Imagine a strike of a 90kg man from a surface of a quantum punch that would be billions of pascal

Thanks for confirming the Avengers 4 story rumours and theories. Life is ruined.

What a great introduction to quantum mechanics, thanks Kyle!

Hey Kyle. Knowing that the pym particle just adds, or takes away the space between time. I was wondering how it would be physically possible. For Scott Lang to go *sub-atomic* . You see. Because you cannot shrink the space smaller than the electrons, protons, and neutrons that make up the atom. And I dont just want "The movie doesn't follow it own rules." I was wondering if you could use your smart boy powers to see if this is actually possible. Anyways. If your actually seeing this, and answering my question. Then thanks! Helps me get over this seemingly impossible task.

If Ant-man retains his normal mass despite his size (if he is 70kg at normal size, he is also 70kg at the size of an ant)... then how is he able to ride on the backs of winged insects that are a fraction of a fraction of his mass? 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

3:07 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.

Wait so Thor is telling us that Ant-Man can beat him in a fight.

Can you talk about how slip space works from halo

I love how all of these videos seem to be filmed in The Abyss from Dark Souls. You can tell because of the backlighting from the bonfire.

I’m going to hear you out because you kind of look like Thor but I’m going to say no before watching

Hi Kyle, So if Antman shrunk to the size of an atom he would be wildly dense, I'm thinking neutron star dense. So the issue with that first and foremost would be that without pin particles I guess, he would be converted to a mass of neutrons and of course die horribly. If he DIDNT die horribly I would wonder if he would then be able to manipulate properties of atoms themselves. Finding heretofore undiscovered particles. He could literally see the higgs boson or gravatons. This would break Heisenberg's uncertainly principle I think. But at that size if you could perceive individual particles the principle may not apply. So possibly more interesting to MCU science rather than the storyline is how antman's ability of the quantum realm could advance science in untold and fantastic ways. Through antman we could learn to find and manipulate particles directly, making it theoretically possible to make items that change mass, or change gravity, much like Thor's hammer. Making something like Tony Starks Bleeding Edge armor more plausible due to changing weight at will. I think in this episode you JUST touched on the incredible power antman potentially holds. I would be VERY interested to see a follow up episode discussing more of the quantum powers in depth. Hopefully you can tell me all about it in the vlog! -Mike

Increuble! En este episodio si que te lucíste con la explicación, me tomará un buen rato entender absolutamente todo lo que dijiste. Just please keep making those amazing videos. I love this!

"Tem-PO-ral" Somebody call Hermione please... we've got another Leviosa Case.

I would like to see Scott Lang try to explain to the avengers of a previous world line about the threat of Thanos. "Hey guys. I'm sure you don't know who I am, but I am from a different world line..." "What's a world line?" "Well in quantum physics..." * Everything explained in this Because Science episode * "And that is why I am able to visit your world line to warn you about the threat of Thanos who is gathering infinity stones to wipe out half the universe!" "Wait...where did everyone go? I wasn't done explaining the threat of Thanos! THANOS !! LISTEN TO ME GUYS! THANOOOOOOS!!!"

I’m honestly confused by a lot of the math but I get the gist of it

Could you please do a sequel where you just explore the possibilities of the size manipulation

Looks like Thor before he hit a gym.

Love the show, but I'll have to be that guy. The helix path of Earth is not different from the elliptic orbit of the earth shown in books because its tracked in time, but because of the frame of reference. In fact, the ellipse is also a temporal extrapolation, a prediction of how the Earth is going to move around the Sun in the following moments. However, because you stand on the Sun when you make this prediction, then you see it move around you. However, the Sun itself has a trajectory in space, and so if you stand in a fixed point in space, you will see the Earth chasing the Sun through space while also orbiting, this is when you see the Helix. Not time Kyle, frame of reference. Its elementary my dear solenopsis.

Ant-Man accidentally causes the Marvel version of Flashpoint. Ant-Point.

Planck-man?

Wow this aged incredibly well

Kyle: Explains how Ant Man could use quantum tunneling to bring everyone back through time travel. Stan Lee: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!

Deadpool is by far the most powerful of all heroes. He breaks even the quantum laws by being aware of the 4th wall

Could snap have turned thanos to dust or does the infinity stones protect him

I thought heros and villains with density, size and shape powers... Such as black mass the Hulk, beast boy chameleon kid and the vision also controlled other aspects of thier power like weight and density. Being able to absorb and negate excess weight and such. Which would explain the building in antman and the wasp being manageable and the Hulk adding nearly 2000 pds of muscle mass from seamingly nowhere. And how beast boy can lose mass and weight to become a bird, then gain 100x the weight and mass to shift to a rhinoceros. Or on a smaller scale how mystique becomes a small thin woman one second then absorbers mass to become a large tall man in seconds. Perhaps they all draw and release mass and weight, size and stature from the same unknown dimension. Something like a size force... equivalent to the Flash's speed force. What do you think about that?

10:54 Reminds me of the character Schrödinger in Hellsing Ultimate (not sure about the animé) As long as he can perceive himself he can be anywhere and nowhere, and essentially never be killed against his will.

My head hurts

So what your saying is his powers almost match up to dr strange

Common person: what? Scientist: 🙄 idiots God: Amateurs

7:52 And that's the "superposition": As long as no information about a quantum object is generated, this quantum object exists in everyt state possible for this object at the same time due to coincedence. Just like Schrödinger's cat, which is dead and alive at the same time as long as we don't open the box, but as soon as we open the box, we generate the information if the cat has died, and then it is either dead or alive.

*SPOILER ALERT* Hey Kyle, how do you feel knowing that what you talking about in this video is EXACTLY what they do in Endgame?

*_Made by Thor_*

Nah man it's squirrel girl

These are the videos that hold my attention! They’re fun and educational (:

I did not get anything from the video after watching everything. Thank you!

Awesome video!

When antman gets extremely light from growing would he be able to walk on water?

I don't understand much from this video, but at 10:45 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
