Something to do with time vortexes, it sounds like a little bit of lazy writing but two things that people always wondered:
-
If shrinking that small turns Earth into a vast universe, how do they conveniently land in a microscopic city? Shouldn’t they have to travel immense distances—if that small city was in the North Pole, they shrunk in Rhode Island. Or what if that city was somewhere as distant as Jupiter rather than stumbling upon a hidden civilization right away. Just how? What is the true size of the atom world, is it an earth sized map as well?
-
In reality, time travel is often linked to quantum mechanics. While Einstein’s Field Equations generally don’t support it, certain theoretical space-time geometries allow for solutions that permit time travel. Essentially, time is just another dimension, and under the right conditions, one could theoretically move backward.
That said, how does Endgame justify shrinking into “time tunnels” while also time-traveling across alternate timelines and not their own timeline to change the past?
