![]() Removing that filter allows us to see reality at its true form, and makes for some very weird things that end up happening, like particles being in two places at the same time quantum entanglement, which is the ability of these particles to communicate with each other, somehow, over vast distances. Quantum physics seems to be the foundation of all of physics, almost like a theory of knowledge - a way for us, as humanity, questions that go beyond what we were able to ask before. ![]() Quantum physics is usually thought of as the physics of the universe at the microscopic level. What are you talking about? This wouldn't happen." What I meant is that Superman is someone who supreme powers within the realm of physics, with the laws that we understand. Michalakis: There was an article a couple of years ago, around the time when the first “Ant-Man” movie came out, and I was quoted as saying that Superman, my favorite superhero growing up, wouldn't stand a chance against Ant-Man. MACH: Ant-Man doesn't necessarily get as much respect as other bigger-name superheroes, but since this is your area of expertise, can you make an argument for why Ant-Man could go toe-to-toe with some of the bigger guns in the Marvel universe? Spyridon Michalaki, a quantum physicist at Caltech, served as science advisor for the "Ant-Man" films. This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity. "Ant Man and the Wasp" stars Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly. But how much of the “Ant-Man” universe is steeped in science? Could a human shrink down to the size of an insect - and survive? NBC News MACH recently sat down with Michalakis to learn about some of the real-life physics behind the films.
