Presumably Superman moves downward when catching Lois to prevent fatal deceleration. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 18/05/2017 06:16:36 PM

What's your opinion when someone completely ignores physics but gives a (totally bullshit) explanation for it? I'm thinking about how the Culture series uses zero-point energy.

Are you a purist, or will you accept apologetic pseudoscience tendered as an explanation for violating the standard model?

Even just bending the knees and letting the arms drop a little would make a huge difference *NM* random thoughts - 18/05/2017 07:03:09 PM 191 Views

Maybe the standard model is just missing the superpowers boson. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/05/2017 09:00:24 PM 135 Views
Suspension of disbelief? aerocontrols - 18/05/2017 07:31:51 PM 294 Views
