the science of the avengers

One great thing about the avengers is the when nerds argue over who could win a fight. While they are point unless they're fun and what makes them fun is factually arguing your points and using science to back up your clams. Iron mans armor for instance although the writers say its made of  iron and gold but scientifically speaking that makes it really heavy and hard to fly witch means it wold make more scene to make the armor out of nickle and titanium and reinforce it with graphite and carbon fiber to maximize heat resistance. What I found interesting is when stark made his own element to put in the new reactor that entire process is entirely possible and is how real life scientist make elements, healing factors are another story. It is by far my favorite super power in whole marvel universe and it works by enhancing the bodies white blood cells and rapidly increases ones ability to repair them selves. Lastly is the most iconic shield in the world, Captain America is made of a steel and vibranium  which is basically indisputable awesome.
          The article was cool but they took all there facts from the movies when it would have been more interesting and factually accurate. Tony Stark's armor is propelled by ionic thrusts not rockets and Caption America shield is not made of steel is vibranium and adamantium. Lastly vibranium don't convert vibrations into light it stores it then disperses it when the Cap through it or hits someone with it. One thing I would of liked to do is see the break down of what makes Thor's hammer unliftable, explain that.

  1. I would think that Mjolnir is liftable and not liftable because it has a force surrounding it that was programmed by advanced Asgardian technology to only allow those who fit with its programming are accepted to lift it. A simpler version of this is being granted access to a room with a fingerprint. Only in this case, the fingerprint isn't definite so that beings like Vision can lift it because of his character that matches with what the hammer is programmed to allow to lift it. Being worthy of the hammer means you have the qualities that match what the hammer's code is thus if your hand reaches in to grab the hammer, the hammer will detect your presence and then determine if it is an unfitting match (Hulk failing to lift the hammer), a slight match (Steve Rogers nudging it as he pulled on it) or a very fulfilling match (Thor every time he lifts it).
