The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will be presenting “Bigger, Faster, Stronger: The Science of Hollywood Superheroes” on August 15th at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles.
Ever fantasized about being a superhero? Wondered whether it’s really possible to build a suit like Iron Man’s, or what you’d have to do to become a real-life Batman? Do you think gamma radiation could really create an Incredible Hulk?
Join host Adam Weiner for an evening that will explore the “real” physics behind many of your favorite superheroes by connecting the actual science to the superhero fantasy.
His interactive presentation will analyze how the fundamental laws of physics are used, misused and manipulated by our favorite superheroes.
Among the films from which scenes will be featured are Iron Man and Thor.
