A Scientific Paper Explaining Superman’s Powers

My cousin co-wrote an article in 2006 for the Daily Texas at the University of Texas about physicists against Superman’s powers.

Let me rephrase my earlier comment of, “Ummm”. But how can a paper be scientific if there is no way to prove the information fact or fiction. The fact that this dude has taken the mental ability to try to come up with numbers and data about a character is cool but pointless since nothing will come from it other than fighting over differing beliefs about certain super heros.

John Byrne put it best. The source of Superman’s power of flight (and everything else) -

Force of will.

well duh, superman is a plant!!!!!! see photosynthesis

flight = telekineses.
bulletproof = dense sub protonic structure which also makes him quite heavy.

Many years ago I came across a book called “A Stress Analysis of a Strapless Evening Gown” which is full of this sort of thing. Just checked over at Amazon and it is back in print…

I’m Not Convinced!
Haven’t read the whole thing, just the intro/conclusion and it would appear that Superman would be a Telekinetic due to the following: “…alter the inertial mass of objects in His immediate vicinity…” Not buying it, no sir, try again.
