Unveiling Iron Man's Destiny: Exploring the Dangers of Radiation in Avengers Endgame

👉 In Avengers Endgame, Tony Stark sacrifices his life by snapping the Infinity Gauntlet to bring an end to Thanos's evil plans.

👉 The snap releases a tidal wave of radiation, mainly gamma rays, which have the highest energy among photons of light and can have harmful effects on the human body.

👉 According to Tony Stark, the Gauntlet with all six infinity stones has the power to energize a continent.

💡 The annual power consumption in North America is used to calculate the energy released during a single snap.

🧪 Assuming a snap takes about a tenth of a second, there would be approximately 54 billion joules worth of energy released.

☢️ The Infinity Gauntlet snap would expose Tony, the character in the video, to a significant amount of radiation, which would result in the worst case of radiation poisoning in history.

🌌 There are harmful radiation sources from space and food that we absorb.

📊 The measurement of radiation absorption is shown in millisieverts.

🚀 Astronauts and people on a trip to Mars experience higher radiation exposure.

Exposure to high levels of radiation can lead to cellular damage, cognitive impairment, extreme nausea, and death.

A short infinity snap could expose Tony Stark to a lethal dose of radiation.

The flash of light produced by the snap may have harmful effects similar to radiation exposure.

Louis Slotin's dangerous experiment with radioactive plutonium resulted in a chain reaction and his eventual death.

🔑 The video discusses the death of a scientist due to exposure to radiation from a critical core.

🔑 The Infinity Gauntlet in the movie could release radiation and cause a flash of light.

🔑 To make an infinity snap safer, one can reduce the time of exposure, increase the distance from the Infinity Gauntlet, and use radiation protection.

🔍 Increasing the distance from the Infinity Gauntlet reduces the intensity of radiation.

🛡️ Shielding is necessary to protect against radiation, but gamma rays require special materials like lead or water.

⚙️ Iron Man could have used his nanotech suit to shield himself from the snap with the gauntlet, but it wasn't possible.

💡 The Avengers provided a satisfying explanation for Iron Man's sendoff by using radiation from the Story Arc Reactor.

🛡️ There was a problem with shielding in Endgame, as the Hulk's snap of the Infinity Gauntlet would have affected everyone in the room, including Iron Man.
