University of Minnesota physics professor James Kakalios discusses how he was tapped to add a physics perspective to the upcoming Warner Brothers movie, Watchmen. Kakalios discusses how quantum mechanics can explain Dr. Manhattan's super human powers in the film, and how he came to become an expert on the topic of the physics of superheroes.

When you sit down to watch television or go to the movies, you don't have to look far to see science and engineering hard at work. It's in the high-tech gadgets used to analyze crime scene evidence, the medicine developed to stop the spread of disease, amazing super powers and phenomenal fight scenes -- it's everywhere. But, have you ever wondered how Hollywood gets it right? Individuals and families can learn about the science behind Hollywood's crime dramas, superhero feats, medical shows and special effects at the USA Science & Engineering Festival, hosted by Lockheed Martin — the nation's largest celebration of science and engineering that will take place April 28-29, 2012 in Washington, DC The festival will feature exhibits, performances and appearances by scientists and organizations that work closely with Hollywood film and TV producers to make sure that they are portraying science and engineering realistically. One of those organizations is The Science & Entertainment Exchange, a program of the National Academy of Science that puts the likes of Nobel Prize winners on speed dial for Hollywood TV and film producers. "Since we've started, we've facilitated more than 350 consults -- an average of 2 to 3 each week -- for movies like Iron Man 2, TRON: Legacy, Thor, Green Lantern and the upcoming Disney film The Avengers, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive," said Ann Merchant, Deputy Executive Director for the Office of Communications for The National <b>...</b>
