Science of Watchmen

Uploaded by UniversityofMinn on Feb 24, 2009
University of Minnesota physics professor James Kakalios discusses how he was tapped to add a physics perspective to the upcoming Warner Brothers movie, Watchmen. Kakalios discusses how quantum mechanics can explain Dr. Manhattan's super human powers in the film, and how he came to become an expert on the topic of the physics of superheroes.

Why can't Dr. Manhattan just transform the actual matter and energy to emulate his own and create multiple bodies identical to his that have a shared collective consciousness via Quantum channeling?

I had read his book & heard of his teaching style. So wanted a few tidbits of physics-stuff to help the astronomer in me understand the basics. Knowing the subject could easily confuse the he!! out of me, he & his style seemed just what I needed ... and it was. I'm no teacher, but was a weapons instructor & battle-skills evaluater in service. If ALL teachers understood young students so, our average IQ would skyrocket, rather than plummet as the last couple decades.
