American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

No more talk, everyone turned their attention to the big screen.

"Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, these two options are scientists."

T'Challa glanced at the options and quickly categorized the people in them. "Scott Lang... MIT Master's degree, Wizard King, this is a wizard."

"So we can roughly divide the options into two categories: scientists and magicians."

T'Challa's classification is quite helpful for analyzing questions, since time travel is nothing more than a matter of scientific methods and magical methods.

Once the type of method is determined, the other category of options can naturally be eliminated.

“We can rule out magicians,” Thor immediately concluded. “We’ve already seen what a time machine looks like; it’s a technological product, right? It has nothing to do with magic.”

The exact appearance of the time machine was clearly shown in the two clips: Nebula using the time machine to transport Thanos and Captain America returning to deliver the Infinity Stones. It was a technological product.

It definitely has nothing to do with magic.

Given that it is highly unlikely that one person could be both a scientist and a magician, the option of "Mage King" was basically eliminated without much controversy.

The remaining options are three scientists.

Or, to put it another way, two scientists and a "highly educated intellectual".

As to how to choose, everyone quickly made a basic judgment.

“No offense intended, but Ron, I think you can also rule that out,” Captain America said to everyone. “When it comes to science, it’s clear that Stark and Banner have a slight advantage.”

Tony Stark needs no introduction; it's no exaggeration to call him the most brilliant scientist of our time, and everyone knows his scientific achievements.

To be comparable to a god with a mortal body is no joke.

And Dr. Banner.

Through answering the questions, everyone also learned that this person is a rare super scientific genius. Putting aside everything else, the fact that he has obtained seven doctoral degrees is enough to defy the heavens.

In some ways, even Tony Stark had to seek help from Dr. Banner.

For example, when creating Ultron and Vision.

If we were to ask who among the remaining three options is most likely to propose such a groundbreaking idea as time travel, most people would genuinely believe that only these two individuals could do so.

As for Scott Lang...

Although he is also a master's graduate from MIT and a highly educated elite, he is somewhat inferior to these two.

After a brief discussion, Scott Lang was also temporarily ruled out.

Everyone agreed that the answer should be to choose between Tony Stark and Bruce Banner.

"So, is the answer Tony Stark or Bruce Banner?"

T'Challa paused for a moment, then asked Tony Stark, "Between you and Dr. Banner, whose research involves quantum mechanics?"

In the previous video, Dr. Banner, who had become the Hulk, clearly stated that the time machine was based on quantum mechanics.

This can be considered a strong condition for judgment.

Between Tony Stark and Dr. Banner, who has studied quantum power? The answer must be that one.

“It’s a pity,” Tony Stark shook his head. “My research did not involve quantum mechanics, and as far as I know, Dr. Banner has not studied quantum mechanics either.”

If that's the case, then it's a little bit of a pain in the ass.

Because apart from that, no one can think of any other conditions for judgment.

"Is it possible for us to know whether Tony Stark or Dr. Banner will master quantum mechanics in the future?"

Scott Lang couldn't help but glance at everyone present and asked a question.

Unfortunately, after some thought, everyone found that there was no evidence to support this claim.

This question seems to have reached a dead end.

"Everyone, when this happens, it's usually because we've overlooked something. Let's all review the question carefully again and not miss any details."

Even if it's just nitpicking the words!

After a brief silence, Tony Stark solemnly reminded everyone.

No one said much more, and they began to carefully examine the question, pondering it word by word.

As Tony Stark said, they even started nitpicking the words.

"Is it possible that we've fallen into a misconception?"

After a moment, Scott Lang seemed to remember something, and with a gleam in his eyes, he said to everyone, "The question asks who came up with the idea of ​​time travel, not who invented the time machine!"

“Lang, what do you want to say?” Thor couldn’t help but stare at Scott Lang and ask.

"I don't know. I don't have any ideas yet. I just suddenly thought of this. What I mean is, is it necessary to have any theoretical knowledge to just come up with this idea?"

"For example, many people want to be Iron Man, but those who want to be Iron Man are not necessarily Tony Stark; they can be ordinary people!"

"That's just an idea, not a theory, right?"

"Lang has a point."

Captain America immediately agreed, saying, "Our previous analysis was somewhat preconceived. The question asks for ideas, not theories, which makes the possibilities much broader."

"It's possible he just watched a time-travel movie!"

“That’s right!” Peter Parker nodded deeply in agreement. “After watching Back to the Future, I also wanted to invent a time machine to travel to the past, just like the doctor in the movie!”

“But just watching a movie isn’t enough to convince the Avengers to invent a time machine,” Tony Stark said calmly from the side.

"Before time travel is actually invented, I think all these ideas about time travel are absurd and impractical."

"So many time travel movies have been made, and everyone knows the concept of time travel, but has anyone ever taken this idea seriously?"

"Lang is right. Anyone can come up with the idea of ​​time travel, but the key question is how to convince everyone of this idea!"

"I think there must be certain conditions for this to happen."

After Tony Stark's words, everyone vaguely felt that they had grasped something.

indeed.

The idea of ​​time travel is crazy and absurd, and it's not a new concept at all; it's a clichéd one.

So why would superheroes re-examine this absurd concept that they would normally never consider?

They even began working on it, eventually inventing the time machine.

There must be some opportunity involved.

Everyone thinks that if we can analyze what that trigger was, the answer to this question might be found.

"I've thought of two possibilities."

After a moment of contemplation, T'Challa spoke to everyone.

"First, the person who proposed this idea not only proposed the idea, but also presented all the relevant mature theories."

"So Stark and Bruce Banner only believed in the idea after they saw a completely feasible theory."

"The second possibility is that the person has other, convincing evidence to prove that time travel is possible."

Chapter 278 Iron Man: I can take on Captain America even without armor!

T'Challa's classification was quite logical, and after a little thought, no one raised any objections.

Instead, they followed T'Challa's logical classification and began to conduct the corresponding analysis.

“Actually, what we were discussing at the beginning was the first scenario that T’Challa mentioned, right? The person who came up with this idea should also be the main creator of the time machine.” Captain America glanced at everyone and said, “We can’t draw any conclusions about this scenario for the time being.”

After all, it's impossible for anyone to know whether Tony Stark or Dr. Banner will ultimately study quantum mechanics.

“Then let’s look at the second scenario first,” Thor suggested, continuing from Captain America’s words.

“This situation is difficult to analyze, isn’t it?” Peter Parker immediately looked troubled. “Some evidence other than theory? This is time travel, how can there be any evidence? Unless someone actually traveled through time! But this kind of thing was impossible before the invention of a time machine, right?”

“Let me correct you, kid. Before the invention of the time machine, no one could travel through time,” Tony Stark said to Peter Parker. “But I understand what you mean. What you’re really saying is that before the invention of the time machine, it was impossible for anyone to travel through time using scientific methods.”

"Traveling through time and using scientific methods to travel through time are two different things."

"Mr. Stark, you mean... someone can travel through time? And using an unscientific method?"

Peter Parker's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Is there really anyone in this world who can travel through time?

That's fucking outrageous!

“Kid, let me quote you: ‘Forget everything you know,’” Tony Stark said to Peter Parker meaningfully.

The quote Tony Stark is referring to is what Baron Mordo said to Strange when he first arrived at Kamar-Taj.

Of course, these aren't the exact words, but they convey the same meaning.

Furthermore, the person Tony Stark refers to as someone who travels through time using non-scientific methods is naturally Strange.

This thing from the future has the ability to turn back time.

However, it is clear that Doctor Strange's experience relied on magic, not science, and is not enough to inspire people to start building time machines.

"wrong!"

But suddenly, Tony Stark's eyes lit up.

He realized a crucial detail that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, could be the key to solving the problem.

"Yes, that must be it, then everything makes sense!"

The more Tony Stark thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and his eyes gradually began to light up.

"It must be one of them? Stark, stop keeping us in suspense, what have you thought of? Tell us quickly!" Thor couldn't help but urge him from the side.

"Lang! The answer to this question is Lang!"

Tony Stark said to everyone with a very certain tone, "We all know that Lang is Ant-Man and can shrink himself, but have we ever thought about what would happen if Lang shrunk himself to the extreme? At the molecular level, atomic level, subatomic level... or even smaller."

What will happen then?

"What's going to happen?" Captain America asked Tony Stark, looking somewhat puzzled.
