could superman really do that?
This coming Friday and Saturday, Dr. James Kakalios is coming to The Parthenon to give his talk, “The Physics of Super Heroes.” He talks about some of the things that we associate with particular superheroes and the physics behind those feats. I guess the talk comes out of research he did for his book of the same title. Sounds neat, right? You get two chances to go hear his talk, and it’s free!
