Slashdot Mirror
Comic Book Physics
An anonymous reader writes "Seems many of the feats of SpiderMan, Superman and other superheroes obey the basic requirements of physics. So says a University of Minnesota physicist who uses nothing but comics to teach the subject. 'Comic books get their science right more often than one would expect ... I was able to find examples in superhero comic books of the correct descriptions of basic physical principles for a wide range of topics, including classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and even quantum physics.' Especially cool: Why Krypton *had* to explode."
But I could be very wrong. and the article could explain it infact. It's too busy for me to read at the moment.
AND YET YOU HAVE THE TIME TO WRITE A RELATIVELY LONG RESPONSE TO A COMMENT? ARE YOU CRAZY OR SOMETHING?
You sir, are why I love slashdot. Someone actually took the time to answer what seemed like a silly question. Well done. :)
