YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A fan wants to know who is the most scientifically accurate super hero, and who is the least. In this segment, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice compare the stretchy guys to the rock guy to the big angry green guy. Not surprisingly, in a world populated by aliens, radioactive spiders and the victims of experiments gone wild, Neil settles on The Incredible Hulk, not because of the fact that gamma rays are fatal, but because of the problematic physics surrounding the change from Bruce Banner to The Hulk relative to the law of conservation of mass. (Can you say, “Marshmallow Hulk?”) Plus, find out Chuck Nice’s theory about why Batman will beat Superman every time.
