Archive programe from 2008 show #318 James Kakalios on The Science of Superheros

Professor James Kakalios, the author of "The Physics of Superheroes," joins Douglas Wolk to discuss Warlock #4-7, featuring a very different Victor Von Doom. Topics discussed include whether Counter-Earth has a moon, how Kate Pryde's powers might work (and why the Flash's powers definitely don't), whether astrophysicists would know about Counter-Earth, how many physics labs have hotlines to the White House, the two other Counter-Earths, and the most important psychological difference between Reed Richards and Doom.

Ever wonder how the effects of shrinking would have on Ant-Man? Or perhaps you've wondered how Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, is unable to be moved unless wielded by one who is worthy? Or maybe you've been pondering how a well Iron Man's titanium-gold alloy suit would hold up in battle? This episode seeks to answer those very questions -- and more. James Kakalios is a physics professor at the University of Minnesota, as well as an author, and has even done consulting work for the 2009 hit movie, 'Watchmen'. And if that wasn't impressive enough, he is also the author of "The Physics of Everyday Things", "The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics", and our personal favorite, "The Physics of Superheroes". To find out more about James' work, visit: www.kakalios.com

Physics professor, bestselling author, and dynamic storyteller James Kakalios reveals the mind-bending science behind the seemingly basic things that keep our daily lives running, from our smart phones and digital “clouds” to x-ray machines and hybrid vehicles.

MST3K's Mary Jo Pehl, physicist Dr. James Kakalios, and comedian Sam Landman join Joseph for a live show all about traveling through the mists of time. Recorded at TPT public television studios in St. Paul, Minnesota. Thanks to Molly Lewis for our theme music!

Grab hold of your Gwen Stacy's ladies and gents!Episode 2 of the 2014 season has arrived and we are getting better at this shtick podcast by podcast.Listen to us dissect where the many plot lines of ASM2 came from as well as a little bit of science from renowned superhero lecturer James Kakalios!  

Matt Kirshen takes Probably Science on the road this week for a live taping at Convergence Con (convergence-con.org) featuring The Physics of Superheroes' own Dr. James Kakalios, Minneapolis comedian Tommy Ryman (@tommyryman) and Dan Schlissel from Stand Up Records (@StandUpRecords). Dr. Jim is a professor of experimental physics at the University of Minnesota, and was both a scientific consultant, and a DVD extra feature on the Watchmen movie. This week's episode gets into superconductors, solid state physics, things with "nano" in the title, telescopic eyes, quantum computing, and how to transport science on a boat.

Faster than a speeding bullet? More powerful than a locomotive? James Kakalios, physics professor and author of "The Physics of Superheroes" discusses the science behind the amazing powers of our favorite caped crusaders.

The amazing technological developments of the modern age have been enabled in part through the advances in quantum physics. On this program, Prof. James Kakalios discussed the amazing story of quantum mechanics.

Professor James Kakalios, a mild-mannered physics professor at the University of Minnesota, has something in common with the characters he chronicled in his 2005 book The Physics of Superheroes - he has a super power. In fact, his new book The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics: A Math-Free Exploration of the Science That Made Our World, Kakalios reveals that all humans have a super power: our intelligence. With that power (and with a little help from quantum mechanics) we have created the greatest technologies the world has ever known. This week on Skepticality, Swoopy talks with Kakalios (a science consultant on the 2009 Warner Brothers filmWatchmen) about his latest book. Not only does he explain how quantum mechanics enables your blu-ray player; he also explores the similarities between the young physicists who developed quantum theory and the science fiction pulp writers of the 1920s and 1930s - blending pop culture and hard science to reveal the physics behind our world. 

Scientific American staffers Mark Fischetti and Robin Lloyd talk with podcast host Steve Mirsky about sessions they attended--including those about algae for energy, dissecting the astronomy in art, and attitudes about climate change--at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Plus, we'll test your knowledge about some recent science in the news. Web sites related to this episode include www.aaas.org, www.aven.com

Faster than a speeding bullet? Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? Superman may be confined to the comics, but could his superpowers exist in the natural world? On this program, Prof. James Kakalios discussed the Physics of Superheroes.
