THE SCIENCE OF SUPERHEROES:
Using Pop Culture to Understand the Universe
SC 204

Physics is about how objects move and interact with each other. The recent success of superhero movies creates an ideal setting for discussing physics by providing a range of visual examples of both good and bad science. In this presentation we look at a range of superpowers and how many of these powers are becoming a reality through innovative use of technology.
