But if one stone is busy changing reality to allow the gauntlet to snap, it isn’t available to do anything else, so the snap wouldn’t have worked!

Well, he did have the power…

In earlier versions of the script Star Lord just yells “oh snap!” when Tony reveals he snagged the stones back from Thanos and then Star Lord and Iron Man save the universe with a Cosmic High Five.

Maybe the gauntlet is built like a percussive instrument, but “infinity castanets” lacked gravitas.

Literally unwatchable. Thanks, scientists.
A while back, I commented on BuzzFeed that I had no idea how Thanos could snap with his middle finger and thumb, when I’ve always used my middle and index fingers. The repliers seemed to be in shock, as if I’d just outed myself as a mutant. So, uh…anyone with me on this?

I mean, is it really so implausible that snap might also be the sound of reality abruptly realigning to someone’s will?

Your index finger and middle finger are respectively opposable? Or are you saying you use both relative to your thumb, to achieve a two-sound snap?

Based on the premise, I was expecting some argument about how the depopulating effect itself would violate physical laws (propagation of the “snap” through the universe at super-luminal speeds, for example)… I was not expecting something as basic as “you can’t snap with gloves on.” LOL.
Instead he just raised the question: “What is the sound of one glove clapping?”

Just tried this. Not exactly two distinct sounds, but does sound kind of like there is a slight echo.

So I hold my index finger on my thumb, then cross the middle finger over the index and snap it down. I can usually get a nice knuckle-cracking type sound.

I am struggling to remember who I knew that did this. It is not really important. There are others out there.

It couldn’t have happened?
Oh, snap!
(Yeah, this is exactly what we need real-life scientists to be doing right now - disproving stuff that happens in fictional superhero cartoons.)
The change happened a milisecond after the snap. The snap wasn’t the trigger it was just showmanship.
But there’s a whole scene where he is wearing the glove with all the stones, about to snap, and the heroes are desperately trying to keep his fingers apart. 
I mean, Thanos may have been the inspiration and is what makes the headlines, but the actual paper is really more about understanding the biomechanics of snapping. You can say scientists have more important things than that too and you wouldn’t be entirely wrong, but that sort of pure research into understanding things really is important.
