… yes, more exactly, “Dr. Henry Pym originally discovered and isolated a rare group of subatomic particles, which have become known as the Pym Particles, which could increase or decrease the size and mass of objects or living beings. The Pym Particles work by stunting matter into the Kosmos Dimension when shrinking a subject or accruing extra matter from that dimension when enlarging”.

But what about the ability to communicate with ants once Scott Lang puts on his Ant-Man suit? How does that work? ‘Cause obviously the underlying Pym Particle technology doesn’t explain that.

The specialized helmet

It seems it is the helmet who grants Scott Lang the power to manipulate ants. Marvel’s presentation is short and goes like this: “Telepathic communication and mind control with ants”.

So, OK, I’m not particularly versed in such matters, but if you are at least vaguely a physics-savvy, what say you? Could this explanation be, even remotely, sustained? Could the Ant-Man suit be as “sci” as it is “fi”?
