Nice little Easter Egg. It’s about one hour and thirteen minutes in.

I wonder if there's any comic book cannon about arc reactors having something to do with spacetime?

I know of plenty of sciency Easter eggs in video games. Black Mesa, Half Life 2, Portal, Portal 2, all have whiteboards with some quantum mechanics and some general relativity equations on them.

One that involves both sciency Easter eggs and comic books is Fallout 4. In University Point, Sedgwick Hall, there is a chalkboard with the electrical constant on it, precise to some 13 or so or digits of precision (in SI units). Next to the chalkboard is a copy of a Tesla comic book.
