AvengersEndgame: Time travel, quantum mechanics explained by scientists
At the end of Avengers: Infinity War half the people in the universe were gone in the snap of a finger from Thanos .Well, with that tried and tested movie plot device: time travel. Plus a surprising amount of scientific jargon thrown in, including quantum mechanics, Deutsch propositions, eigenvalues and inverted Möbius strips.
Problem is, Thanos destroyed these in the present day, so the stones are only available in the past. Retrieving them will require a convoluted journey back in time to multiple locations by the remaining Avengers. The grandfather paradoxTraveling back in time can cause apparent logical inconsistencies in reality, like the well-known grandfather paradox.
Time travel in the EndgameIn the movie, the characters first make fun of many other time-travel movies such as Back to the Future and the Terminator series where changing your own past and future is possible. In quantum mechanics, atomic particles are more like indistinct waves of probability. So, for example, you can never know both exactly where a particle is and what direction it’s moving. You only know there is a certain chance of it being in a certain place.
Terminology for effectThe time-travel theory scenes are filled with technical jargon, some out of place, some in the right ballpark.Eigenvalues: In discussing their approach to time travel, characters Tony Stark and Bruce Banner mention eigenvalues. This is most likely an example of movie maths talk for effect, as eigenvalues are a fairly low-level concept in linear algebra.Planck scale: The Planck scale is all about very small things. Planck length, time and mass are base units used in physics.
