Researchers ultimately determined that the density and makeup of the Infinity Gauntlet would have prevented Thanos from snapping his fingers at the speed at which he did.

Using high-speed imaging, automated image processing, and dynamic force sensors, the researchers analyzed a variety of finger snaps. They explored...
