Zander is an excellent artist and a cool dude. (Chris Cannon is no slouch himself!). Very cool profile of a deserving talent.

Remember, the order of scenes in a trailer is not necessarily a reflection of how the scenes will play in the film itself.

I am one of the science consultants for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and I was fortunate to see the beginning of this scene being filmed. I can say that Spidey has a legitimate reason for being a "jerk" to this car thief. Context matters. The film is not THE AMAZING SPIDER-JERK.

The dots in the study, as well as nearly all "quantum dots" are semiconducting, not superconducting. Easy mistake to make. A material that remained superconducting at 98/6 degrees Fahrenheit - that would be something!

Following your breakdown of the various Marvel character movies, I would add:

Those of us in their 50's have been waiting even longer for such a film!

I must be too old - what is that from?

I think it is amazing that James Cameron has explored the Marianas Trench in a single-person sub.

Mal says - more to himself: "Damn" and then kicks him into the engine. The reaction of the next henchman in the queue is perfect.

Brit Marling's ANOTHER EARTH also had an open ended finale, and used science fiction tropes to tell a personal story. She keeps this up and she'll get a reputation for intelligent science fiction that does not rely on CGI to engage the audience! That will never do!

For the non-fiction side of the story - see Prof. E. Paul Zehr's INVENTING IRON MAN. Prof. Zehr is a neuroscientist who examines what it would really be like to wear and fight in a mechanized suit fo armor.

You are not missing anything. While the two electrons do not have to be in the same atom, they have to be so close that their wavefunctions overlap. This happens in atoms, but can also happen outside of them as well. However, it does not hold for any two electrons ANYWHERE.

I am qualified to critique this video. I posted a long explanation here in the comments - but essentially you are correct (as is corpore-metal). He is applying the Pauli prinicple to situations where it does not hold. For the experts, if what he is saying is true - then one should never see classical statistcal…

I must say that I am disappointed by that video, particularly by the misprepresentation of the Pauli Exclusion Principle. The Pauli Principle only holds for indistinguishable particles that are brought so close together that their matter-waves (technically, deBroglie wavelengths) overlap, such that calling one…

When it comes to what Superman can or can not do, I defer to his editor in the 1950's, Mort Weisenger. A group of physics students from M.I.T. once wrote Weisinger, complaining that in a recent issue, Superman was shown flying faster than the speed of light. As this is in violation of Einstein's Theory of Relativity,…

I recall this at the time, and how distrubing I found the hack when I had a chance to view it. Missing it in real time, there were news reports about it on the news and then when it was finally reboradcast, I thought it would be funny and was actually quite creeped out by it.

His skeleton and muscle structure are encoded in his Kryptonian DNA. As his strength derives from absorbed sunlight, if kept in the dark 24/7 he would shrivel to the Before Mac in the Charles Atlas ads.

Here, here!

The skrulls did not create the cosmic cube. It was constructed at Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.). It was ret-con revealed later on that the cube itself is a binding construct that holds the essence of powerful Beyonder type beings that have reality altering powers. The Skrulls WISH they had access to such…
