Enter Ant Man!

Evan Lausier on February 04, 2026

Well this was too fun not to share! I am still waiting for Ant Man to pop out somewhere!! https://x.com/NightSkyToday/status/2018441295065395398?...

I’m most intrigued by the multiverse angle 😄
Are there infinitely many universes? Are they all the same, or completely different? Is time just an illusion?

So many questions - hopefully Google computes the answers soon 😅

😂😂 Its 2026 now and we still rely on Google to live our lives LOL

Not just our lives, but live of entire Universe! (multiverse?)

Fun topic! Incredibly fast computers might emerge, and our lives could change dramatically—just like when AI appeared. 😄

This whole thread perfectly captures the state of modern tech discourse.
Half genuine scientific breakthrough, half philosophical rabbit hole, and a healthy dose of "Google please explain reality to us."

As the saying goes,** “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”** And quantum computing definitely qualifies. Not because it proves the multiverse, but because it stretches our intuition until it politely gives up.

The funny part is that whether computation happens in one universe or many, our day to day developer problems remain beautifully classical. Bugs still reproduce faster than rabbits, deadlines still collapse wave functions, and production outages still obey Murphy’s Law.

Or to borrow another old proverb, "Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water." Even if there are infinite universes, someone still has to fix the build.

But hey, if Google eventually computes the meaning of existence, I just hope the API has decent documentation. 😄

Wow... I LOVE your response! This was really great to read on my Saturday morning, thank you!

I think you totally captured the intent of the post beautifully. Not to nitpick the specifics of the technological advancement per say but more if the deeper underpinnings behind the concepts.

A TV series I enjoyed recently, Dark Matter really propelled my curiosity with this topic. It's worth a watch if you haven't checked it out already.

Well documented API endpoints? Now we are in a parallel universe HA! 😂😂

I am glad you enjoyed the article and thank you for your great comment.

Who cares if there is parallel universes if we get computers to this speed!
