James Kakalios teaches physics at the University of Minnesota and is the author of "The Physics of Superheroes." He tells Jim Fleming that Superman's powers make sense for a creature born on a planet with stronger gravity than Earth's, and that often fantasy writers strive to be scientific if you grant them one impossible feat.
