Science of Watchmen
Posted by on 6th, 2010
University of Minnesota physics professor James Kakalios discusses how he was tapped to add a physics perspective to the upcoming Warner Brothers movie, Watchmen. Kakalios discusses how quantum mechanics can explain Dr. Manhattan’s super human powers in the film, and how he came to become an expert on the topic of the physics of superheroes. Check out Kakalios book at www.physicsofsuperheroes.com Vote for Jim! He’s up for a Webby Award, which you can vote for here: www.youtube.com




This guy is like an offspring of Einstein and Stan Lee. Without the moustache.

I find it funny how he can do pretty much anything except zap himself a pair of tighty whities.

I just assumed that Allan Moore meant Valence Fields when he used the term “Intrinsic Field” by mistake.
