S719: Who's the Strongest Incredible? Superhero Physics (and why it Matters) in Rainstorm Spring 2021 (May. 15 - 16, 2021)

Superhero stories, whether they are from comics, books, movies, or TV shows, are an awesome way to use our imagination. In this course, I am going to go through some ways of wrapping our heads around our favorite super people using physics. Our goal will be to show how the power of physics brings life to superpowers, and how the physics of superheroes might even be important for our daily lives. (inspiration from "The Physics of Superheros" by James Kakalios and "What If?" by Randall Munroe).
