Ep. 29 The Science of Superheroes

from Fascinating Nouns

Dr. Michael Dennin describes himself as a modern day Socrates (listen and find out why). A professor of Physics and Astronomy at University of California at Irvine, Dr. Dennin has made a name for himself as the go to guy for explaining superhero powers and abilities in real-world physics. He has appeared in the documentaries Batman Tech, The Science of Superman, Spiderman Tech, and Star Trek Tech. Doc Dennin also appears regularly on Ancient Aliens, and he designed a free online course through UCI with some of his colleagues about how to survive a Zombie Apocalypse. We talk about The Drake Equation, the advantages of being a millionaire, and how he is going to steal my idea for a fluffy Hulk.
