Which weapon would you rather have in a fight: Thor’s Mjolnir hammer or Captain America’s shield? Hint: The answer has to do with the conservation of energy — and the sonoluminescence of vibranium. Dr. Kakalios breaks down the physics behind this and many other Marvel phenomena, including Shuri’s holographic car in “Black Panther;” Peter Parker’s spider-webbing train save in “Spider-Man 2;” the multiverse theory of “Doctor Strange;” the role of Pym particles and the Higgs boson in “Ant-Man;” artificial gravity in “Guardians of the Galaxy;” and Tony Stark’s cybernetic helmet and gold-titanium exoskeleton in “Iron Man.” He sheds light on why Carol Danvers doesn’t age from “Captain Marvel” to “Avengers: Endgame;” why the Space Stone is so powerful when yielded by Thanos in “Avengers: Infinity War;” and what’s with all the talk of quantum entanglement, quantum tunneling, and “quantum mumbo-jumbo” in “Ant-Man and the Wasp.”
Kakalios is the author of three books — “The Physics of Superheroes,” “The Physics of Everyday Things,” and “The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics.” He was a science consultant for Sony’s 2012 film “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Before that, he won an Emmy for his work as a science consultant for the Warner Bros. superhero film “Watchmen.” A physics professor at the University of Minnesota, Kakalios teaches a popular class that uses comic books to illustrate the principles of physics.

Imagine failing a physics class and then seeing your professor giving an 8 out of 10 to a superhero movie for realism
-
Doesn’t use complicated words, loves comics & movies, a university professor This is rare
-
Scott Lang, "Do you just put the word 'quantum' infront of everything?" Real life scientist, "Yes. Yes, we do." That was genuinely what I waited for Fishburn or Douglas to say. I was sad they didn't.
-
I'll be honest, I would happily watch videos of him reacting to movies. You can tell that he loves movies (especially Marvel movies), he's a great teacher and I can tell he would have a blast explaining it all.
-
Drax: Stands so still that he becomes invisible to the naked eye Professor: 'This is completely physically plausible.' Rating: 10/10
-
He's more than just a physicist, he clearly is a Marvel fan also. Shout out to this guy.
-
He’s so clearly invested in the comics and the movies but is also a brilliant physicist and has a great sense of humour Love it

You could tell he likes physics, but LOVES marvel
-
Imagine you falling in an elevator getting ready for a tragic death and the guy next to you just says: Hey look at this pipe
-
I actually read his book years ago. I used it to get one of my co-workers into physics who didn't happen to be much of a reader and even he said he was super intrigued. What you're seeing in this clip is the same way he's explaining everything in his book. He just goes into more detail. But the general gist is the same - he's using heroes and their powers as reference points and then explains concepts of physics this way. I'd recommend it wholeheartedly; if you liked this clip, go and check out his book. 🙂
-
I can tell that whoever did the editing for this video had a lot of fun haha.
-
I’m glad the professor wasnt just saying “this just a movie” LIKE he’s an actual fan and has seen the movies!! Big ups to this prof!
-
physics will be so much more interesting if our professors gave examples like these.......
-
Love this guy's charisma, you can tell he's passionate about the topics he's discussing. Would like to see a part 2.
-
I would be much delighted if they can manage to find a magician to breakdown Dr Strange's movie
-
elevator breaks and is quickly falling to the ground Me: wAnNa SeE a MaGiC tRiCk
-
I liked how this guy didn't use too complicated words so us idiots could understand lol
-
One thing I think he got wrong is the part in Black Panther at 14:34. He mentions Shuri using a hard light hologram to control the car, but that's not what it is. The solid parts Shuri is interacting with come from a pool of sand like vibranium that can take the form of solid objects, and a hologram of the car itself forms around the physical components. I think they actually do refer to it as a vibranium sand table or something similar at some point in the movie.

Dude is super forgiving with his ratings as compared to other experts they brought in. Kinda interesting that it's the science/mathematics people that are more open & optimistic of the fantastic elements in film.
