I don’t get it. Maybe if I watched “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” where they introduce the Quantum Realm, it would make more sense.
It’s likely the QR will be in play in Avengers 4.
Sorry, screwed up a bit on the excerpt, duplicating two sections of it.
“Sorry, screwed up a bit on the excerpt, duplicating two sections of it.’
True, but you more than made up for it with imaginative art renderings.
Here are some good documentaries/lectures on the general subject...

That 2nd one is for real...
The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is an image of a small region in the constellation Ursa Major, constructed from a series of observations by the Hubble Space Telescope.
It covers an area about 2.6 arcminutes on a side, about one 24-millionth of the whole sky, which is equivalent in angular size to a tennis ball at a distance of 100 metres.[1]
The image was assembled from 342 separate exposures taken with the Space Telescope’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 over ten consecutive days between December 18 and December 28, 1995.[2][3]
The field is so small that only a few foreground stars in the Milky Way lie within it; thus, almost all of the 3,000 objects in the image are galaxies, some of which are among the youngest and most distant known.
By revealing such large numbers of very young galaxies, the HDF has become a landmark image in the study of the early universe.
Three years after the HDF observations were taken, a region in the south celestial hemisphere was imaged in a similar way and named the Hubble Deep Field South.
The similarities between the two regions strengthened the belief that the universe is uniform over large scales and that the Earth occupies a typical region in the Universe (the cosmological principle).
A wider but shallower survey was also made as part of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey. In 2004 a deeper image, known as the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF), was constructed from a few months of light exposure.
The HUDF image was at the time the most sensitive astronomical image ever made at visible wavelengths, and it remained so until the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) was released in 2012.

Hubble’s observations about the expanding universe contributed to discoveries showing that time, space, matter and energy all had a beginning.
This contradicted the ultimately irrational cosmology Einstein had accepted along with most scientists of his day—the steady state universe existing infinitely into the past and future.

“almost all of the 3,000 objects in the image are galaxies”
That’s truly astounding. I get algebra, trig and have more than a rudimentary understanding of calculus, but cosmology and quantum theory are beyond my ken (even though I passed a course or two on quantum theory).
Apparently, the takeaway from this is dark matter SUCKS!
Fill a horsetank with water to the very top, then cover it with a thin rubber sheet and seal it so no air is in it and no water can escape.
Then drop a bowling ball in the center...
The ball will make a dent but furthest away from the ball the surface will be BULGED UPWARDS!
If the sealed tank with no ball is no gravity then the tanke with bowling ball with the outward bulge upwards is anti-gravity... ie. NEGATIVE ENERGY ie. REPULSIVE FORCE.
DUH!
The classic thought experiment of the “trampoline + bowling ball “ gravity model crap missed the idea of the displacement in the 3rd dimension...of a non compressible lower/higher dimensional space time metric....
Is the horse spherical?
[ Is the horse spherical? ]
No but the tank is cylindrical.

Expanding into what? That just sounds silly. Is the cosmos minuscule compared to the emptiness it has not yet expanded into?
Thanks for posting, ETL.
Grace G, thanks for posting your horse tank analogy, which I have not seen or thought about before.
“almost all of the 3,000 objects in the image are galaxies”
That’s truly astounding.
...
What I find astounding is that at one time all those galaxies and many more came from a tiny dot smaller than an atom.
Another astounding thought is that all the matter we see is but a wisp of smoke in the larger Universe.
But if you have a Quantum view of Physics this is all wrong.
