About :
The superhero Ant-Man can become as small as an ant at the push of a button. In the comics and films, this is made possible by the fictional "Pym particles" that move the atoms closer together. Would this work in the real physical world? And what would it mean for our bodies if they shrank that much? Together with Marc from the YouTube channel @DerComicladen and physicist Anne from the "Science vs. Fiction" team, Jack Pop shows you why shrinking is actually a really stupid superpower. #antman #marvel #sciencevsfiction Here is Marc's YouTube channel: ▸ / @dercomicladen Big thanks go out to Miniwelt Lichtenstein, where we were able to take a mini trip around the world during filming: ▸ https://www.miniwelt.de/ Sources, backgrounds and further information about this episode: An interview about Ant-Man with the author James Kakalios, who wrote the book "Physics of Superheroes": ▸ https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...
