According to the study, a finger snap is the "fastest acceleration of the human body ever measured", and the physics involved should have been impossible for Thanos while wearing the gauntlet.

Can't believe it took so long for someone to realize this.

Oh, that's the part in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe that was "impossible"?

Everything else? Yeah, that all can totally happen.

Do they think the Infinity Gauntlet was made by some kind of amateur? Its design surely accounts for the ability to snap.

It kind of sounded like he was able to snap his fingers after the stones were removed, which still should have been impossible.

If you could just snap your fingers to destroy half the universe, why didn't the rebels use it against the empire before?

The thing is though, humans dont have Mad Titan finger strength, and the gauntlet itself likely isn't perfectly smooth on the fingers, if the fingers even actually are entirely metal at all.



That could just as easily be some space leather under the actual armor pieces.

Both of these can contribute to a Thanos snap being physically possible.

This is something we should get the Mythbusters onto if they were still around. They could probably build a robot to emulate his strength and then do tests with different gauntlet materials.

Dwarven craftsmanship mastery

Spoilers. The infinite stones are always on. Theres no activating them. See how each stones were before they were collected. Theres no deactivating the power each stone have. Safe to say, the initial power up of wielding the infinity gauntlet shows us a surge of cosmic power. In that surge we can imagine and deduce in that moment was an infinite window of possibilities happening from the power cosmic destroying the person, the planet, solar system, galaxy, etc. Also the potential of infinite possibilities of the snap - its successes and failures. Possibly the infinite uncontrollable potential of possibilities such as humans not being able to control such power and the gauntlet "acting" on a subconscious level.

But tbh, the snap was a way to accentuate the act of using all the stones.

What if his metal gloves were textured, adding friction?
Also, doesn't matter. The snap is just a focus point for his mind to make it happen. He could just have used a magic word, or stomped his foot down. Which means that Captain Marvel holding him from snapping is BS, he could just have willed it. But I guess he actually needed that snap to make it click.

He used the Reality stone to handswap the Infinity Gaunlets grip with Carol Danvers.

So the wearer can snap theyre fingers and also get a Marvelous handjob.

The glove works like that, take it up with Twenty Foot Tall Peter Dinklage.

That was the Stark gauntlet using special nanotechnology that allowed the snap

He's Thanos, one of the most powerful beings in the universe. He made short work of The Hulk, also one of the most strongest beings in the universe. Now you're telling me he wouldn't be able to snap his fingers because of a metal gauntlet?

Plus, you know, reality-altering infinity stones.
Making a snap sound that shouldn't happen seems a trivial task for magical macguffins capable of dusting half the populaiton of the universe.

Indeed. Plus it could even just be the release of energy thats making the noise and not an actual physical snap.

But here we are being rational in the face of people who think they were being rational.

They forgot to measure the time it takes tc to cum. Definitely quicker than a snap

I think have a star-forged, god-made gauntlet made to hold the very fabric of the universe needing to have the characteristics of regular metal is kind of a stretch. Though these nerdy science articles generally aren't trying to be that specific.

Thanos is literally a Deviant, and thus essentially made by God. So normal physics don't have to apply.

IDK but I have the comic right here I can check

I can't find anything about a specific number. He does give an oddly specific number while calculating the chances the heroes have of beating him but nothing for the people he killed. It just says half.
