Get excited, it’s the quantum episode! If we’ve learned anything from Ant-Man and the Wasp it’s that putting “quantum” in front of a word makes it “extra sciencey.” We talk about the quantum science in Ant-Man and the Wasp and how, weirdly, despite it being so far from reality, it doesn’t bother us all that much. We also discuss the bizarre density of the Ant-Man and Wasp suits and the even more bizarre fact that Scott Lang can somehow afford to live by himself in San Francisco.

Dang, I said it three times, but Michelle Pfeiffer has not appeared.
Density
We are not the only ones who have wondered about Ant-Man and the Wasp’s densities. Note that one of the comments says that Pym particles are the Marvel equivalent of the speedforce. No matter how far she runs, Caitlin just can’t get away from the Flash.
Wired has also run a number of articles about Ant-Man and density. Find some of them here and here.
