12:51Now PlayingNeil deGrasse Tyson, joined by Charles Liu, Chuck Nice, and Gary O’Reilly, humorously dissect Superman’s powers through the lens of real physics, physiology, and astronomy, questioning whether iconic superhero moments could actually work in the real universe. By examining momentum, digestion, X-ray vision, relativity, wormholes, and the destruction of Krypton, the group reveals how scientific reasoning exposes both the limits and the creative liberties of comic book storytelling.
