Guys, if I'd title the book for example "Physics of Batman", would I be sued by DC comics? What if the title won't mention Batman, but the story would revolve Batman, what is the legal rule of including other characters in your book? Also if I mentioned real physicists like Hossenfelder or...

Hello. I have an equation which I understand partially but after understanding the purpose of coefficients in the below equation I think my understanding will enhance. * I found it on: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/dnzfajfpym What decides that I need coefficients for x2 in the given...

Hi, I was just watching "The Dark Knight Rises" and was reminded of a question I had about the end and Batman's flying the nuke outside Gotham where it exploded over the sea. We know tsunamis and even mega tsunamis can be produced by avalances, rock slides, and whatnot. My question is that if...

Hello, PF! Days ago, while playing Batman: Arkham Origins, I was wandering through the Batcave when I noticed something that caught my eye immediately. There's a nice, cozy lab in there which includes a blackboard where Bruce Wayne apparently did some kind of thermodynamic calculations, which...

Newly discovered Asteroid 2014 RC, the size of a house, gives Earth a close shave in 2 days, coming in about 1000 miles closer than the orbits of our geosynchronous Sats ! ...Sept. 7th above New Zealand. Details...

We know that our eardrums only resonate within certain frequencies in sound. I am just wondering if it is possible, somehow, to alter our eardrums so they could resonate with sound of a wider frequency bandwidth.(Surgery? Connecting our hearing organs to some external electronic device?)...

Definetly one of the craziest science fiction epics I've seen recently.

It seems to me that the recent deeds of ……… ………. cast a serious aspersion on the reputation of higher learning and the worth of knowledge in general. That is a depressing if not completely unacceptable predicament in many ways. I don’t know where he was studying, with whom, in what topic area...

Imagine Batman has a new hyper speed Batship that is the shape of his circular bat emblem. The ground has convenient square grid on it and when parked on the ground the ship is exactly the same length as a square on the grid and its shadow touches the four sides of a square. Mounted underneath...

Every now and then the lights in my house blink off and on again, and then my phone machine goes "beep." When I look at it, I see that it flashes "PF----PF----PF----PF----" . The ONLY explanation is that someone here is trying to signal me, for whatever reason I don't know. But when I log...

Batman (mass = 105 kg) jumps straight down from a bridge into a boat (mass = 530 kg) in which a criminal is fleeing. The velocity of the boat is initially +15 m/s. What is the velocity of the boat after Batman lands in it? .5mv squared + mghf = .5mVi squared + Mghi.5 x 635 x Vf squared = .5 x...

Homework Statement I am trying to show that the Batman scene where the tractor trailer flips over the long way is completely unreasonable. I would like to use, as a very simple model of the problem, Principle of Impulse and Momentum. So please help me out. I have a truck traveling at...

Yes it lives up to the hype and more. Easily the best comic book movie ever made, easily the best Batman movie ever made, and easily the best movie I have probably seen in the past several years. It is so refreshing to have a GOOD action movie that utilizes as little amount of CGI as...

Batman walks 10 miles south, 10 miles east, 10 miles north and 10 miles west. He doesn't arrive at his starting point, but a little west to his starting point. Robin also walks 10 miles south, east, north and west. But he arrives a little east to his starting point. Catwoman walks 10 miles...

Penguin, Joker, Riddler... and Catwoman, too! The sum of the angles of that rectangle is too monstrous to contemplate!

Well to begin I should say that I used to be a caffeine freak. I averaged 2L of Diet Dr Pepper everyday for the past four years. About three weeks ago I ran out of pop and, being extremely busy with college, I was unable to get to the grocery store for anything other than a few bags of food...

I saw the movie last week and didn't like it one bit. I'm suprised the yahoo rating for the movie is so high. Not only was the acting terrible but the science was completely out of wack. A microwave device that turns the water in the sewer line into steam? Who came up with this brilliant idea?
