Why can't the science used in comics be used in real life?

just wondering

Lack of funding. :P

But seriously what do you mean?

@CrimsonCake:in comics you have ways to enter the microverse and travel galaxies but we cant even travel to pluto

Well comic book science is significantly different than real science. We have theoretical methods on how to travel to galaxies and what not but the technology just isn't there yet.

@CrimsonCake: thanks

Of course were on our way there.

We either aren't advanced enough or scientists don't have enough funding expenses. Then there's the lack of god-like beings on our planet.

Not to mention that the fact that the amount of time to get from solar system a to b is drastically down sized in comics.

Have always wondered, why isn't the technology here? I mean is there some sort of barrier besides funding?..

Well at this point we are still making new discoveries.

Technological breakthroughs happen in time. We've even made a robot that can run faster than Usain Bolt. We are still progressing at the moment. But don't worry, We'll get our hover boards, Someday...

Okay sure. Go ahead and douse yourself in Gamma Rays and see what happens.

What radioactivity has ever been kind to people. Only in comics. Hulk, F4, Spider-Man.

Real life? I don't think so...

Other than that, stuff that happens in comics is all based off real-world theories. And if comic books are based off theories, how can we be able to do what they do in real life? Soon enough though.

Dark matter is the key and it's more abundant than matter. It's just a matter of finding it and harnessing it as energy to sustain our ships, among other things.

Because TOAA is too busy doing cameos in movies instead of making this happen.

This is just a plain no lol. dark matter.. I am not going to even tell you why your wrong if in the first place you think that, LOL!

Are you saying that dark matter isn't the key or are you outright dismissing its existence? If the latter, I would love to hear your hypothesis on the large amount of mass in the universe that remains unaccounted for, Dr. Cosmologist.

hahaahah couldn't have put it better than this

Comic book science is faked...some writers do a good job while others do not. I was reading a comicbook the other day and was totally jerked out of my suspension of disbelief because the scientific jargon was a load of cr@p. The writer was obviously stringing together phrases and concepts he heard but doesn't understand to make the comicbook science "believable". (I wish I could find that reference right now) - But anyways, science in comicbooks can't be used in real life because a lot of times there is a MISSING PIECE of the PUZZLE that comicbooks fill in that doesn't exist in the real world.

Take for instance Einstein has long searched for the key to connect Relativity and Quantum Mechanics...he never found it. In the comicbook world that one little small key piece would just be assumed to exist.

Another example is "gravitons" as being a subatomic particle that can resist gravity...which enables gravity control and flight for a number of Marvel characters. Obviously 'gravitons' in their definition is 100% fabricated. No such particle exists.

Another overused example is being able to 'tap into other dimensions' to control energy sources from there. Who did the research to even begin to peek into that other dimension? We have nothing to even be able to prove that other dimensions exists let alone tap it for resources.

A down-to-earth example is Spiderman's webbing. I can't think of any combination of standard chemical compounds that would be able to make a fluid that can be compressed and gels into a sticky stretchable when aerated that would be able to support the stress of a 50 ton force.

Comicbooks are essentially a niche SCIENCE FICTION. Writers build on tid bits of facts today to write fantastic stories of things that "could" be.

It obviously exists, we recently observed its effects about a month or two ago for the first time, but not that actual substance. And don't make it out to be special, The theory behind it is simple well sort of. Its the anti-gravity so to say, or the opposing force. As EVERYTHING in nature has an opposing force , dark matter and energy are the opposing to gravity.

Now, as an energy source this is AT-LEAST well over a hundreds of years away, as we cant even observe it yet, only the affects. We would have no idea what it can do. and the "mass" your talking about in the universe is unaccounted for as we have not observed or seen it yet. Dark matter has no "mass" in the way you say. It is only hypothesized.

Please, I would love to hear your hypothesis on the energy dark matter or energy can give us, please elaborate , Dr. Cosmologist.

I never said it would be an energy source. I was just responding to your poorly articulated and confusing in message response to Sesquip.

Ok, do you understand me now?

If we're talking Batman it seems possible, but anyone with that amount of money doesnt care about saving the innocent people of the world

And the crazies always seem to get locked up so no villian either! Those doctors never let us have any fun!

Because comic book science is plot magic, plot magic doesn't exist naturally in the world.
