[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel) Thanos's potential for mayhem made itself visible very early.

[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=4) And you did nothing?

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=8) If I acted preemptively to curtail potential misbehavior, Dr. Banner, your gamma shenanigans would have ended on a grad school blackboard.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=17) Would you prefer I had? No. Good answer.

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=24) You win one Infinity Stone.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=30) Of course, there will be consequences.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=34) Yes.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=37) If we take the stones, we alter time, and we'll totally screw up our present day even worse than it already is.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=43) If you travel to the past from your present, then that past becomes your future, and your former present becomes the past.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=50) Therefore, it cannot be altered by your new future.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=52) Then all of this is for nothing. No. No, no. Not exactly.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=57) If someone dies, they will always die. Death is irreversible, but Thanos is not.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=66) Those you've lost are not dead. They've been willed out of existence, which means they can be willed back, but it doesn't come cheap.

[1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=84) The Infinity Stones bind the universe together, creating what you experience as the flow of time.

[1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=92) When you remove one of these stones, this flow splits.

[1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=96) Your timeline might benefit, but my new one would definitely not.

[1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=105) For every stone that you remove, you create new, very vulnerable timelines.

[1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=109) Millions will suffer. Then we can't take the stones.

[1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=113) Yet your world depends on it.

[2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=120) Okay. What if...

[2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=124) What if once we're done, we come back and we return the stones?

[2:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=128) Well, then the branches would be clipped and the timelines restored.

[2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=135) Easy-peasy lemon squeezy. You're a very interesting person.

[2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=140) It's quite a burden.

[2:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=146) Be warned, Bruce. Power is only useful when it's used, but using it might mean giving it away.

[2:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/LI7AOPF3bVw1/en/bruce-banner-and-the-ancient-one-explain-infinity-stones-and-time-travel?t=155) I promise we will return the stones. I don't mean just the stones.
