Even more super-science! Dr. Jim Kakalios points out a problem which super-strength can’t solve.

Ha, funny thing is, in the film Superman Returns, Superman does try to grab a falling plane by the wings and it DOES SNAP OFF!
He also slows it down gradually, as opposed to suddenly which would kill everyone inside due to the tremendous deceleration and inertia.

It IS afterall a comic book character. One must obviously employ a certain suspension of disbelief. It’s fantansy…. lol

This guy is insanely nerdy, but OMG there’s nothing wrong with that, he’s HILARIOUS!
November 23, 2009
this guy is like the epitome of a nerd…i enjoy watching these videos but man is he nerdy..lol
November 23, 2009
YES!
Be Tea Doublyou…I have no idea why that comment got seven thumbs down.
Normally I can assess why my comments are liked or disliked; this time, no clue.
I guess similes referencing intersocialsubdivisional orgies are offensive to the general physics and/or comic book loving population. Who knew?

so what happens? u watch a video on youtube that they like?
November 23, 2009
Holy crap, after reading some of the comments, I have to say how ridiculous it is that so many comic book fans are so incredibly pissed off by this.
I mean of course comic books are absurd and unrealistic; that’s a given (although it seems like some people haven’t noticed). He’s using them as tools to teach physics by highlighting instances that are physically plausible and ones that are not and showing why.
Stop getting all butt-hurt and read something educational.

Hehehe

Spoken (typed) like a true comic geek.
November 23, 2009
These videos are what happens when nerdishness and geekery are fused.
Kind of like if my closest friends ended up in some weird orgy. …Only not nearly as disgusting…or sticky.

I think that’s only Kor-El

Dude the guys an alien maybe somethings are left unexplainable…

Wait I thought all Kryptonians had inherent tactile TK thats why he can pick up large objects.
November 23, 2009
wait…the adventures of superman aren’t based on true stories!? i want my money back!
November 23, 2009
Jesus, read the comics and have a little fun. Superman isn’t about science, he’s about imagination.
November 23, 2009
you are 22 years wrong…

he was “crowned” prior to 1986 when DC went to John Byrne in all their infinite wisdom to “un-deify” him I suppose

If you get hit into a building, you fly through it like cardboard. If you pick it up gently, they move like legos. Never mind how he manages to balance both buildings at the corners while flying. I imagine sky scrapers have some significant drag.

It’s because, despite the fact that he can do all that…chunks of his own planet can kill him. In various interesting ways.
No one can be crowned God when all those godlike powers can be nullified by a mook waving a green rock at him saying “Neener neener neener!”
Even if Superman nukes the planet from orbit as a response, the humiliation still stands… ^_^

Superman has also been known to break the speed of light while flying. He could also travel through time with precision under his own power. He has also shown to hold enough air in his lungs and enough strength in them to sneeze away a whole solar system. All this from either gravity differences earlier on to yellow sun radiation instead of red sun radiation. Why he’s not crowned god of the DC Universe I still don’t know.

This building not connected to any city water or electric…

LOL that was soooo funny!! “Superman’s gonna kill us all! Yay!”
