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.
