Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Since they first debuted in the 1930s, comic book superheroes have enamored pulp-afficianados and movie enthusiasts alike. They’ve also provided unexpected tools for explaining abstract scientific principles. From centripetal acceleration and Spiderman’s web to the Newtonian implications of Superman’s flight, we explore the science of superheroes.
Guests
- James Kakalios Professor, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Minnesota in Minneapolis; and author, "The Physics of Superheroes" (Gotham Books)
