Ok so yeah, maybe it isn't really possible at this point for physics to adaquetly explain a man's molecular structure separating and eventually recombining giving him unimaginable powers... But apparently that didn't stop Watchmen producers from at the very least, attempting to get the film grounded in somewhat scientific feasibility... enter University of Minnesota physics professor James Kakalios...I guess at the end of the day you can't delve into science fiction, without first delving into a little actual 'science'

There's science behind Watchmen?
The world will look up and shout "save us"... and I will look down and whisper "no... first you must understand the science behind how I came to be!
"

... I still have yet to see this movie, but I'm really excited about seeing it tomorrow. From what I've heard from friends so far, it's supposedly pretty good so my expectations have been raised... then again at three hours running, it really better be worth the price of admission

Jon Stewart skewers CNBC
What a sad state of affairs we've arrived at... that in this country we've reached the point where comedians have to be the ones exposing the self-serving media for being exactly what it is... self-serving. CNBC is perhaps a prime example just such a case... where (supposed) 'economists' have been playing cheerleaders for a team that in essence turned out to be to be the progenitors of this current economic crisis. What a sad state of affairs indeed.
That said, I've noticed Jon Stewart has really been at his best lately. When he's mad he's great, but when he's outraged it seems he really doesn't hold back
... Then again, there's a lot to be outraged about nowadays so who can really blame him...
