MEANWHILE
How strong would you have to be to "leap a
tall building in a single bound"? Traveling as
fast as the Flash, could you run up the side of
a building or across the ocean? How frequently
would you need to eat? If Spider-Man's webbing
is as strong as real spider's silk, could it
support his weight as he swings between
buildings? Jim Kakalios Seminar The Uncanny
Physics of Superhero Comics" draws examples from
the four-color pages of comic books, along with
recent Hollywood movies, to illustrate basic
physical principles such as forces and motion,
conservation of energy, electricity and
magnetism and elementary quantum mechanics.
