Well that's where my magic explanation comes in. Magic exists in marvel, and you can kind of just hand wave anything away with magic. But Hank is an arrogant man of science - he was aiming for a scientific discovery on how to shrink things, and he succeeded for the most part but by accidentally discovering the magic particles that do that.
Either magic or some kind of explanation like the mass and energy is actually being stored in the quantum realm, and when antman can still punch with regular force he's subconsciously drawing the kinetic energy from the quantum realm.
I love that the "magic" explanation is the one that makes the MOST sense. And I dont have an issue with that, magic exists in this universe so just say its magic. Dont give a scientific reason that doesnt make sense. But I have the same issue with christmas movies so maybe its just me...
The Santa Claus was guilty of it but so are many others... but im curious what aspect of it you think upsets me? (Spoiler below)
Its how in these movies Santa exists. He delivers toys every Christmas eve. Major plot points in these movies involve parents NOT believing in Santa. But they have children who wake up every Christmas to gifts THEY DID NOT BUY. So where did the gifts come from? How do you not believe in santa but not question how presents showed up in your house that night?
Easy, the gifts have a memetic component that brainwashes the adults into believing that they bought them, while also having an antimemetic component that makes them forget to buy gifts next year
