The Physics of Superman

Abstract:   Superman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic book published by DC ComicsThe man of steel, Superman, seems impossible. The guy has X-Ray vision. He has super strength. He even flies. There is no way he could do all that realistically. But if there were, here's how they would work, according to what we currently know about the laws of physics.

  4. This is really cool! I found your project to be extremely unique and interesting as you approached a superhero and his super abilities. Not to mention that Superman has physics applied to him and his powers, but he exceeds the limits of normal humans when it comes to the laws of physics.

  6. This is by far the most creative project of all them all. I found it incredibly interesting to learn about the physics Superman has.

  7. This was such a cool and creative project! I never knew how much physics is actually behind Superman. The concept of negative mass was a cool and new topic to learn about!
