Everyone knows that Superman arrived here as a baby from the planet Krypton. Because his physiology is different from Earth born humans, he has developed powers beyond those of mortal men. These powers include the ability to fly at great speeds, either through the atmosphere or through airless space. His super-strength is legendary. He has super-hearing, super-vision and the ability to see through objects. Each of these super abilities is examined through the lens of real, bona fide science. Scientific explanations of how Superman can do the things he does are clear, easily understandable, and more than a bit of fun.
Author Richard Raucci is a former computer magazine editor. His most recent book is PERSONAL ROBOTICS (1999, A.K Peters Ltd)
