Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. If superheroes stepped off the comic book page, could they actually work their wonders in a world constrained by the laws of physics? How strong would Superman have to be to 'leap tall buildings in a single bound'? Could Storm of the 'X-Men' possibly control the weather? James Kakalios provides an engaging and witty commentary while introducing the lay reader to both classical and cutting-edge concepts in physics, including: what Superman's strength can tell us about the Newtonian physics of force, mass, and acceleration; what villains like Electro and Magneto tell us about electricity and magnetism; how Iceman's powers show the principles of thermal dynamics; what the Human Top can tell us about angular momentum; why physics professors gone bad are the most dangerous evil geniuses. and more! AUTHOR: James Kakalios is a professor of physics at the University of Minnesota. The popularity of his seminar titled 'Everything I Know About Physics I Learned By Reading Comic Books' led to the publication of 'The Physics of Superheroes'. Exploring everything from thermo-dynamics to sold state physics, and relating the physics in comic books to such real-world applications as microwave ovens and drivers' air bags, this book shows how comic books have often been ahead of science in explaining cutting-edge physics.
