How much energy is needed to actually leap tall buildings in a single bound? Can the Flash really run up the side of a building if he goes really fast? Believe it or not, there are real science-based answers to these questions. JAMES KAKALIOS is a professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota. He uses the amazing feats of comic superheroes to teach very real laws of physics. His vastly entertaining book is THE PHYSICS OF SUPERHEROES. Tune in and find out if The Ant Man can fight his way out of a paper bag. For a picture of James among his mentors, go to:http://www.physics.umn.edu/people/kakalios.html
