Description

James Kakalios explores the scientific plausibility of the powers and feats of probably the most famous superheroes — and discovers that in many cases the comic writers were given their science surprisingly right. Along the best way he provides an engaging and witty remark even as introducing the lay reader to both classic and state of the art concepts in physics, including:

  • What Superman’s strength can let us know in regards to the Newtonian physics of force, mass, and acceleration
  • How Iceman’s and Storm’s powers illustrate the foundations of thermal dynamics
  • The physics at the back of the death of Spider-Man’s girlfriend Gwen Stacy
  • Why physics professors gone bad are probably the most dangerous evil geniuses!
