In the sky, a spaceship landed steadily on the ground.
Rocket and Nebula also managed to make it back.
"Hey, let's get it, Lebowski."
Inside the base, Tony, who was walking over carrying equipment, looked at Thor who had gained weight and complained directly.
Lebowski is a character in the movie "The Big Lebowski". He looks very much like the modern-day Thor. He is a middle-aged man who does nothing every day except bowling.
Except for Carol who was still tied up and hadn't come back yet, everyone else had gathered, including Colonel Rhodes who had rushed back specially for the occasion.
And today is the first time to try out the time travel experiment after the "time machine" is built!
"Little bad arrow, what's wrong?"
"It's Rocket! Don't be so arrogant, you are only a genius on Earth."
Rocket, who was repairing equipment, said to Tony unhappily.
. . . . . . . . .
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Be careful!"
Scott, wearing a new time-travel suit, shouted there.
"I've been very careful." Hulk said 'wrongly'.
"No, what you did just now was very rude!"
"I've been really careful!"
"These are the only remaining Pym Particles. No one has been able to make them since Hank Pym became... and disappeared!"
"Calm down, Scott." Dio could see that he was very nervous at the moment.
"The amount of Pym particles we have now is only enough for each of us to go back and forth once. There is no chance to do it again. In addition to these two testing opportunities..."
Before he could finish his words, Scott shrank and disappeared, then grew larger again.
"Okay, now there's only one chance left to test it."
Dio was helpless.
"Okay, I'm too nervous. I'm not ready yet." Scott said while taking a deep breath.
"Scott, don't force yourself. If you feel you are not ready yet, I can take the test for you." Dio thought about it again and again and finally spoke.
Although the test is dangerous and there is a high possibility of unexpected accidents, it is better than Scott wasting the remaining test opportunity.
But at this moment, a firm voice came from behind everyone, "I'm ready, let me do it."
"Patton?"
The person who said this was none other than the haggard-looking Hawkeye Barton.
Seeing the determination in his eyes, Dio knew that there was no one more suitable than him.
So he nodded and said, "Change people!"
Soon, Barton put on the new time-travel suit, and then Hulk reminded him: "Clint, time-travel may make you feel a little confused, but don't worry."
Patton nodded to show that he understood.
At this moment, Colonel Rhodes, who had been thinking about something, suddenly couldn't help but speak: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask a question. If we can do this, I mean time travel, then why don't we solve the problem directly from the source?"
"Because changing the past cannot change the future."
Su Rui walked in and said.
"Why? That's what I heard..." Colonel Rhodes muttered quietly.
"Who told you?" Hulk asked speechlessly.
"Star Trek, The Terminator, Space-Time Cop, The Lovers, etc..." Colonel Rhodes counted them one after another.
"And Time Traveler..." Scott added.
“A Wrinkle in Time, 70 Years Back in Time…”
"Hot Tub Time Machine"
"Yes, and there's Hot Tub Time Machine. Basically, all movies about time travel tell the same story. If you change the past, the future will be changed. Everyone knows that."
Hulk was stunned. He spread his hands helplessly and said, "I don't know why everyone believes this, but it doesn't mean it's right."
"Think about it. If you go back to the past, then the you in the past becomes your future, and then your previous present becomes the past. This past will not change because of the new future."
Xingyun, who had finished debugging the new time-space shuttle suit, also agreed: "That's right."
"So all the Back to the Future stuff is bullshit?" Scott said, devastated.
"Obviously."
After listening to their definition of the theory of time travel, Dio was a little confused, but there was one thing he couldn't understand.
"What will happen to the past that we have influenced? For example, if we go back to the past and take away the Infinity Stones that should have existed, then in principle the Infinity Stones that existed in the past will no longer exist. What will be the result of the series of effects caused by this?"
Obviously, the question raised by Dio at this time was much smarter than the stupid question asked by Rhodes just now.
The reason is that both Hulk and Shuri pondered for a moment and organized their words before answering his question.
"Remember the parallel universe hypothesis? If we have this kind of impact on the past by going back to the past, then at that moment a time branch will extend to an unknown place, forming a new and unique parallel world. In that parallel world, there will be no Infinity Stones, and the subsequent finger snapping will not happen."
Hulk made a deductive statement that shocked everyone.
Then Su Rui added: "That's right, but if we return the things we have used to the original time point in time, then the new time branch will disappear, and the possible parallel world will no longer exist."
"Of course, these are just our speculations. We don't know what will happen exactly. After all, the mystery of time cannot be fully understood even in one's lifetime."
Dior was deeply touched by this.
Including Ancient One, they have lived for so long but have not been able to comprehend the truth of time. You can imagine how difficult it is.
In addition, Dio felt that their statement was not rigorous. Would it be okay if they just returned the items
Their travel through time and space back to the past has inevitably produced an impact in itself. It can be said that it will inevitably cause certain changes. To put it bluntly, every breath they take when they return to the past is equivalent to taking away the oxygen in the past, and every stone they kick away may cause a butterfly effect.
So, in his opinion, what Hulk and Shuri said cannot be said to be wrong, but it cannot be said to be completely right either.
Returning the items taken away exactly to their original point in time can at best be considered to have reduced the impact, but it cannot be considered to have had no impact at all.
So if their action is really successful this time, how many parallel worlds will be created
What consequences will it have on their original world
These are all unknown variables right now.
