Reminds me when we first started learning about physics in high school. My teacher was pretty old and once was talking about the force of something falling and how if superman tried to fly up and save a falling person, he would most likely kill them. He was awesome.
That same kinda thing actually came up in the recent show “The Big Bang Theory” in which Sheldon (nerd #2) explains that (assuming Superman’s flight is not on the list of scientific inaccuracies), catching somebody falling just a split second before they hit the ground, his arms of steel would cleanly slice him or her into 3 pieces.
It’s sometimes better to check you rationale side at the entrance of any movie theatre or fantasy/sci-fi bookshelf and to just enjoy the ride.
