The discussion centers on the possibility of human flight, specifically in the style of Superman, rather than traditional methods like flapping wings. Participants express a mix of skepticism and creativity, with some suggesting that while human flight as depicted in comics is unlikely due to biological limitations, advancements in technology could allow for a form of flight through jetpacks or other devices. The conversation touches on the idea of altering human capabilities through technology or genetic modifications, as well as the theoretical potential of superconductors to enable levitation. However, many emphasize the need for mechanical assistance for any form of flight, dismissing the notion of natural human flight as unrealistic. The thread also includes humorous exchanges and references to pop culture, highlighting the imaginative nature of the topic while grounding it in scientific principles. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards the impracticality of achieving flight like Superman without significant technological intervention.
For that matter just stick him in outer space and give him a push to get him moving.
