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

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.
