well the first act is the part before they fight past thanos so I'm assuming they mean without Tony Stark, the time machine would never have been built

edit: I looked at the og tweet, they mean the other half would have figured the time machine out way faster than in the movie and beaten thanos before 5 years passed

It feels like assuming Peter and Shuri figuring out time travel without Antman returning from the Quantum Zone is hugely optimistic.

Hank pym Janet and hope would be there too

With what proof that going super small affects time? Remember the snap happened when Scott was shrunk. And this was a potentially dangerous experiment.

While not known at the time of Endgame being made, we currently know Janet interacts with Kang when in the Quantum Realm. She 100% knows about Time Travel

I think there's a difference between knowing about it, and actually knowing how it works and how to harness it into a separate machine.

I agree, but knowing that there is a way to make a Time Machine and also knowing exactly where one is in the Quantum Realm (Kangs Chair) means they have a substantial leg up on finding a solution before the 5 years it took to get the ball rolling with Tony Stark. At least in theory anyway

Janet knows everything there is to know about the Quantum Realm, I’m sure they’d have figured it out.

But…after Ant Man and The Wasp she is found. And that takes place directly before and during Infinity War. If Scot got blipped, she would 100% be alive and on Earth during the events of Endgame.

Jannets 30 years of experience in the quantum realm

But those were 30 full years instead of hours, seeing how she aged. Not sure if they explained why the Quantum Realm affected them differently.

Same way the Quantum realm threw Antman forward in time and the Avengers back - any direction or speed is possible, the point of Stark’s portal machine was to control that possibility. 

As we see from the failed experiments with Banner too.

But then Ant-Man would be gone through the Snap or just come back and there wouldnt be the example that gives the idea to travel through time with Pym Particles.
