In MCU, was said that Antman's suit diminishes the distance between atoms, so how can he become smaller than atoms?

In a verse where there are trans-dimensional Gods, people who can stop time, a suit of armour that defies any known laws of physics and someone who wiped out half of the universe.

Yet it’s the ability to become smaller than atoms that boggles your mind?

There are things smaller than atoms like quarks, leptons and hadrons.

I have asked this question many times and I have realized that it just didn't make sense.

You have to go with it.

It's also said that the mass stays the same therefore ants are strong enough to carry humans and Hank Pym can casually pull massive buildings.

It just doesn't make sense

@the_living_tribunal_24: Yeah, but his post is more about the fact that the explanation given in the movie suggests his own atoms remain the same size but are merely closer together, hence why his mass remains the same. So it should not work for him to shrink smaller than an atom.

At 1:56 it's explained rather nicely

Antman science makes no sense and is not coherent. Some objects retain their mass while others do not (carrying vehicles in pockets and buildings in cases). That's fine though because I see Antman as a super hero comedy. So laughs are more important than science.

That's always bothered me, also if this were true he'd retain his mass, so he'd become insanely dense, which he doesn't. My conclusion is that Hank was lying about how Pym particles work.

@ourmanuel I'm so sick of this fallacious BS. One is consistent within the world it sets up and one isn't. Having gods is fine because the universe is set up to contain gods, having many times something smaller than one of that thing is just untrue, regardless of what universe you're in. If we had Thor in two places at once in IW you wouldn't pass it off as 'well, we already have gods...', no, you'd call it a mistake, there's a difference.

Pretty sure when he shrinks smaller than an atom he automatically gets teleported to the Quantum Realm, where physics do not apply anymore.

I am more bothered by the casual ability to carry a building that has kept its mass in a suitcase...
