James Kakalios signs THE PHYSICS OF SUPERHEROES
Readers interested in science, comics, or just an entertaining evening will want to get to MG via the Batmobile, webbing, or flight on Friday, February 19, when James Kakalios speaks at 7:00 PM. Jim’s updated “Spectacular” second edition of The Physics of Superheroes covers a number of classic comic book scenarios, and discusses the science behind them. The Physics of Superheroes explores everything from energy, to thermodynamics, to quantum mechanics, to solid state physics, and Jim relates the physics in comic books to such real-world applications as automobile airbags, microwave ovens, and transistors. It also reveals ways comic books have often been ahead of science in explaining recent topics in quantum mechanics in Marvel comics and string theory in DC comics.
