AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the scientific principles behind a comic character's abilities to manipulate the weight of objects. The character can make heavy items like boulders and ships as light as a feather with one hand, while the other hand can significantly increase their weight. This manipulation of mass directly affects concepts such as kinetic energy, momentum, and force. Key formulas relevant to these abilities include kinetic energy (E = mv²), momentum (p = mv), and force (F = ma). Understanding these principles is essential for accurately portraying the character's powers in a scientifically plausible manner.

Hey guys, I have a comic I'm working on and wanted to know if anyone could help me with the science/ physics part of the main character.

With his left hand, he can make things like boulders, ships, whales, etc. (heavy things) as light as a feather. Using his right hand, he can multiply an object's weight and make it extremely weighed down/heavy. He can also heal extremely fast and turn his body into metal.

Besides those last two parts, could someone explain the science aspect of the whole making things heavier and lighter power? Like do they have anything to do with Impulse, momentum, energy, etc. or are their any formulas etc. I'm not that much of a science buff lol. Thanks

Making an object lighter/heavier (changing the mass) will certainly change things that depend on the object's mass. There are too many formulas to list completely, but here are a few basic ones:

Kinetic Energy: e = mv2
Momentum: p = mv
Force: F = ma
 
A map of a four-dimensional planet is three dimensional, so such can exist in our Universe. I made one and posted a video to the Internet. This is all based on William Kingdon Clifford's math from the 19th century. It works like this. A 4D planet has two perpendicular planes of rotation. The intersection of such a plane with the surface of the planet is a great circle. We can define latitude as the arctan( distance from one plane/distance from the other plane). The set of all points...
