Sinossi
Come fa Superman, con un solo balzo, ad arrivare sul tetto di un edificio di trenta piani? Cosa dice, dell'eroe dei fumetti, questo salto di 200 metri? Quasi tutto. Basta applicare le leggi di Newton: per sfidare la gravità, saltando cosi in alto, Superman, se pesa 100 chili, deve avere una velocità iniziale di oltre 200 chilometri l'ora e, dunque, applicare al salto una forza di oltre 25 tonnellate al secondo. Impossibile per un terrestre, ma non per chi è nato su Krypton, che ha una gravità maggiore. Kakalios spazia dalla meccanica quantistica, alla termodinamica, alla relatività, alla fisica dei solidi... altrimenti come spiegare in che modo l'Uomo Invisibile riesce a passare attraverso i muri?

Beautiful! This book (original title “The Physics of Superheroes”) is a really good book, which entertains you and at the same time makes you learn many things. The author is a physics professor and he explains to us, starting from comics, what are the principles of physics on which the superpowers Leggi tutto
Oh man...how many times could this book have been written when I was a kid? Here's a short list of role playing games involving human mutations, animal mutations, super secret powers and abilities I got into with some of my friends- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Generic Universal Role Playing System Leggi tutto
Any lover of superheroes with a yearn to read funny textbooks is honor-bound to pick up this piece of reference by James Kakalios. Comic book lover and physics professor at the University of Minnesota, Kakalios employs the mathematics behind electricity, motion, power, time, theory and, if it applie Leggi tutto
Professor James Kakalios uses the comic-book medium as inspiration for a series of lectures on physics. At the same time, the book references old comic books as a matter of course. Kakalios introduces some caveats in the heroes and villains that he discusses. For example, Kakalios considers Golden Ag Leggi tutto
Sigh. I'm officially giving up on this book. It's not that it's really awful. In fact, I thought the first section was very interesting and entertaining. However, I just got bored when the author started discussing how many calories the Flash needs to run at super speeds. From that point on, it turn Leggi tutto
Daudz varoņu, daudz komiksu un vēstures. Lieliski ieliek perspektīvā komiksu universus, nedaudz neveiklāk ar to fiziku (mani reizēm uzvilka amerikāņu mērvienību sistēma, bet principā jau atsvaidzināt pamatlietas fizikā nenāk par ļaunu. (Ļoti neveiksmīgi, ka šāda lasāmviela ietrāpīja tieši manā "lasīša Leggi tutto
I think I got a D in physics. However, when I originally bought this book I couldn't put it down. With a great, entertaining surrounding like comic books, Kakalios sneaks in some serious education.
