Spoiler & Proton
Hey Proton, have you ever wondered how the Infinity Stones actually work in real physics terms? Spoiler alert: the whole reality‑bending thing is a massive quantum mess, and the MCU just glosses over it with a bit of good drama. Let's dive in.
Hey, that’s a fun thought experiment. If you take the Infinity Stones and strip the storytelling away, you’re basically looking at devices that could tap into the fundamental degrees of freedom of spacetime. The Space Stone would need to control the metric tensor—like a super‑advanced gravity generator that can warp the geometry at will. The Time Stone would have to manipulate the causal structure, essentially re‑ordering the time‑evolution operator of a quantum system, which means breaking the usual unitary evolution or finding a way to run it backwards. The Reality Stone would be the ultimate decoherence controller, turning superpositions into definite outcomes on demand. All of that requires manipulating quantum states on a macroscopic scale, something that’s orders of magnitude beyond our current quantum tech. So, in real physics terms, the stones would be like impossible super‑quantum engines that can rewrite the equations of general relativity and quantum field theory at will. It’s an entertaining idea, but not something that fits in our current framework—unless, of course, you discover a new branch of physics that unifies everything in a neat, predictable way.
