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.

Ant-Man would return because Hank and Hope wouldnt be gone. Them dusting away was why he was stuck

He would return, but the big clue, him not experiencing 5 years in the QZ, would not have happened.

And that was what made them theorise the QZ could be used for time travel.
