    We all know that the COOLEST moment in the new Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer is when we see Ant-Man grow into a GIANT man. Now, I've explored Ant-Man's powers before, but never what it means to grow up to 65 feet tall! What does that do to your body? Well, Loyal Theorist, you are about to find out!

    The reason Spidey talked about Empire so vaguely is because he didn't think any of the other superheroes knew what he was thinking about. Like Iron Man says in Infinity War, "the kid's seen more movies". Plus he and Ned build like a $400 Lego Death Star in Homecoming, so he's definitely VERY familiar with Star Wars.

      A New Hope was released in 1977. Empire Strikes Back was in 1980. There's no way none of the Avengers would not know about Star Wars. Even Cpt Rogers would have seen it since he probably put it on his list of Pop Culture to know. He's already seen War Games for crying out loud...
      I blame the writers.

      Either way, if we're looking for an answer that has continuity between Civil War, Homecoming, and Infinity War I could see Peter downplaying just how much he knows about certain topics if its alienated others from conversations before by him nerding out on someone who didnt get it or wasn't interested. Lord knows Ive been on both ends of that.

  • @jamyangpelsang3099
    @jamyangpelsang3099 Před 5 lety +1066

    I thought that based on the movie (which is the physics logic used here) Pym particles only alter the distance between atoms when changing sizes. Wouldn't that maintain the mass and only increase the volume? As in when increasing in size, you only gain volume and not mass? There's the same number of atoms and other particles but they're just farther apart when getting bigger....

    • @hoverkingjr
      @hoverkingjr Před 5 lety +128

      I agree, through the explanation in the movie Antman should be significantly weaker when he grows in size due to the lower density in his body. I want an explanation as to where the extra mass comes from

    • @ragefacememeaholic5366
      @ragefacememeaholic5366 Před 5 lety +73

      I don't think it actually changes the distance between atoms, I think that was the just writers not understanding science all that much. I think it actually changes mass because thats how his powers act in the movies.

    • @Chris-ib8oi
      @Chris-ib8oi Před 5 lety +79

      Jamyang Pelsang you're right, but that behavior isn't actually shown in the movie. Or at least it's a bit inconsistent. Hank carries a tank that ought to be as heavy as a tank, while Scott is always the same weight (except when we runs across someone's gun/shoulder)
      I usually have a loose suspension of disbelief, but the internal inconsistency within the rules of the movie take me out of it.

    • @go_guerrero

    Canonically, the Pym particles only increase the space between particles, thereby increasing volume, but with mass remaining constant. Due to the law of Conservation of Energy, it would be impossible to create more mass. Lang’s volume is indeed increasing, but not his mass.

  • @kodyjayvin
    @kodyjayvin Před 5 lety +58

    Actually Matpat, the main reason he'd move slowly when enlarged is that electricity has a set speed so every single action he tried to make would be delayed and overall slower than he would be at normal or tiny size. When shrunk to half an inch his reaction time and movement speed would increase not only because of his reduced weight, but also because the electrical signals would need to travel a tiny fraction of the distance between his brain cells and also between his brain and his muscles.

      299,792,458 m/s is c and cables are capable of 50% to 99% of that,
      whereas human nerve cells just manage a tiny 100 m/s which is ~0.000033% of c.

    Are we not gonna talk about how also due to the square cube law, when ant man gets bigger he would cook himself alive due to increasing his body mass (the thing that creates body heat) by a factor of 3 but only increasing his surface area (the thing that dissipates said heat) by a factor of 2. Every time he gets big he would essentially be microwaving his own internal organs. The opposite would be true for getting smaller. His body mass would decrease by a factor of 3 while his surface area only decreases by a factor of 2, thus leading to Antman dissipating far more heat than he produces and freezing to death.

    Very entertaining show, MatPat, but there is a big error.
    06:52 "His mass would increase... with his volume"
    False... even by the science fiction rules of this fictional universe.
    First, fictional physics.
    In the first Ant-Man, Pym says they reduce the volume of "the space b/w atoms". He never says that Pym particles add or remove mass. By real physics that is impossible by *Newton's 1st law unless they add energy. Pym never says anything about adding energy or mass.
    Pym says the molecules become "more dense".
    That means the mass does NOT change when he shrinks because density=[mass/volume]. He is NOT heavier. He is a super-dense 200 pound ant.
    So when he becomes "Giant Man" the volume increases with the SAME mass. His density would plummet! He'd be like a 60 foot tall parade inflatable.
    Two adults could easily pick him up.
    What you said about the surface area of skeletal muscle is true. He would still be strong... but not his bones.
    He would have very low bone calcium density, called osteoporosis. When he kicked that 4000 lb (very dense) car his tibia would snap like a kit-kat bar.
    Other then that, great video, really enjoyed it. Ty.
    Edit: *Conservation of Mass (not Newton's Laws). Wrong reference corrected.

      1 2 This is what I commented.
      Ant-Man does not gain mass. The Pym particle can change the distance between atoms, rather than creating mass and violating the Law of Conservation of Mass. Though this does not make much sense because Dr. Pym carried a tank in his pocket, it is explicitly mentioned at the beginning of the Ant-Man movie. Scott Lang would not gain any weight when he transforms into Giant-Man. You actually made this clear at 12:32 when you claimed that he maintains his momentum when he changed size. Because momentum is mass times velocity, and no force is causing a change in velocity (neglecting air resistance), Ant-Man’s mass would be constant. Therefore, this entire video is invalid and self-contradictory.

    • @nicholasjarrett4480
      @nicholasjarrett4480 Před 5 lety +2

      Also, Newton’s first law states that “An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.” I believe that the Law that is being broken is the Law of Conservation of Mass.

    Hey Game Theory I love your guy's show. It makes me feel like I learn something and you use games and movies or films to bring up science and even math. But Looking at this started to get me thinking. One thing I don't understand for the Giant ratio is how would this affect how much force is put into a kick or a punch?
    I am not good with thinking too much science, but movies like Pacific Rim and obviously Ant-man's growth in Civil War/Ant-man and the Wasp got me thinking if the small punch is much more dangerous than a giant punch.

  • @alexandercoletti1664

    Your forgeting that as soon as he changed size by a significant margin he would either overheat or freeze, your surface area only gets multiplyed by a factor of two his volume gets multipled by a factor of 3 like you said, but with more mass comes more heat and his surface area can only release a certain amount of heat, eventually if he gets big enough his volume would create more heat then he could lose through his skin/surface area and he would boil. And vice versa for getting smaller, with volume being less than surface area he would lose heat to quickly and freeze.

    I wonder if this could ever be something developed in real life. To have that much super strength when you are that small. The science behind it is just incredible. I mean, how exactly do you change the space between the atoms that make up a person so that they become smaller or bigger?
    It also kind of plays on the idea that the underdog wins. I mean who would think that an ant sized man would be one of the determining factors if his respective team wins or not? Scott Lang's story line takes that idea of the underdog to whole other level, literally making him the smallest player on the field. While all these other characters have these incredible powers that increase their strength at their normal size, ant man has the tables turned and takes his own size and decreases it so that he can be more powerful relative to his size.

    Wouldn't antman overheat and die since active cells generate heat, and his body is designed to give off heat for his current size? If he gets really big, his much larger volume wouldn't beable to give off enough heat through his much smaller surface area, to stop him from overheating.
    Elephants have large flappy ears to give themselves more surface area to give off the heat of their much larger volume. So if you make an elephant small, thier volume will give all the heat away over thier much larger surface area, and they'd freeze.

    You should do one about why antman´s mass increases, since what the particles do is to stretch and compress the space between particles, he should be a balloon man when he gets big. Although that same issue creates a lot of problem in the movies, like how are his particles able to get smaller than the rest of particles around him.

    The moment you started talking about the square cube law, I could tell where this was going although you probably could talk about how his body would have a harder time dispelling heat, causing eventual heat exhaustion, and possibly even stroke (because he’s not going to be drinking any water there) and killing him mid fight.

      Like others have mentioned in the comments his suit may help him with dispelling heat or increasing hear

      Even Marvel themselves don't know how the particles work, they're constantly playing loose with the rules.

      Yeah that supposedly the logic of the first movie with how they explain what happens when he changes size. But I think MatPat is talking theoretically about what if a living being changed both mass and volume. Besides if Ant-Man stayed the same mass then he would be a human balloon floating in the air and be unable to cause any damage while moving.

    I feel like you said in an earlier video that his mass doesn’t change when the space between his atoms does? 🤔
