Nagging Question


What did Superman do with Clark Kent's suit, eyeglasses, shirt, tie, fedora and shoes after he had changed (in a phone booth no less)  into his blue tights and cape?

Super Silly Science


In the old Marvel comic books, when Superman missed a key event (like Lois Lane's death), he would soar into space and, by flying ultra fast east to west, make the world spin backwards to cause time to reverse ... so that he could then rescue things. Independent of the implausibility of this super event, how still very silly. The rotation of the Earth is represented by the time on clocks, but the time on clocks does not control actual time ... a totally independent phenomenon.

 But the fact that Marvel Comics could convince millions of readers that Superman could pull off this scientifically-impossible event demonstrates how very maive is the collective public's science understanding. Enter left, Al Gore.
