Tuesdays Lost Youtube Clip: The Physics of Superheroes.


Every Tuesday, the CPC brings you the YouTube clip that you missed this week. But probably should've seen.

This week, we proudly present 2 Clips for your Viewing Pleasure! Both of these clips are of Dr.Jim Kakalios giving a lecture on the Physics of Superheroes at the CONvergence Comic Convention. Dr. Kakalios is the author of the book, "The Physics of Superheroes", which you can purchase at this link.

In this first clip, Dr. Kakalios explains the difficulties of picking up entire buildings and flying around with them. Be forewarned, this clip discusses the tragic Superman-caused massacre of a building full of orphans.



In this second clip, Dr. Kakalios discusses why normal people don't go around carrying chunks of White Dwarf Matter to their car trunks.



To learn more about Dr.Kakalios, his theories or his book, you may want to check out his website, www.physicsofsuperheroes.com
