Science of Smallville

[Eros]

Im sure many of you know about famous "the science of superman" [if you dun know about it google it]concept, which explained supermans powers useing earth science. Now im gonna ask some scientific questions about clark and his powers in smallville, and about the weird stuff in smallville in general. see if you can answer them. Now this is all for fun, so try your best.

1- when clark runs off at supespeeds, why doesn't he cause a sonic boom when he breaks the sound barrier?
2- why doesn't Clarks clothes and shoes wear out when he runs at highspeed velocities?
3- How is it possible for a 400 year old witch to look exactly like Lana? Hell how is it possible for lana's great aunt to look exactly like her? when Lana has a mixed heritage of asian,irish, and who knows what else.
4-The drive time between smallville and metropolis is?
5-What happened to Chloe's father?
6-Why doesn't kryptonite effect clark like it does other humans? since he is vulnerable to kryptnite radiation, one must assume he is vunerableto its mutagenic effects as well right?
7-Why is it Zod in Lex's body could fly, but Clark,Raya,Zods deciphles, and Brainiac could not fly?
8. If kryptonians could travel through time so easily, why couldn't they save themselves and krypton?
9. Why didn't jor-el build a ship for Raya as well?

Thats all for now, see if you can give me a reasonable scientifc answer for any of the questions.

An even better question: where the heck did he bury Raya?? The native american chick who could shape-shift from the start of the series??

 

[Kaboom]

an even better question. why are you wasting my time with this?

 

[Eros]

an even better question. why are you wasting my time with this?

since you responded on your own power, i assume you wasted your own time. All you did here was prove that your a unfunny idiot. How much of a time waster could that be?

OK ill give it a shot

1- when clark runs off at supespeeds, why doesn't he cause a sonic boom when he breaks the sound barrier?

Clark doesnt run fast enough to break the sound barrier hes not the flash he breaks it when he flies.

2- why doesn't Clarks clothes and shoes wear out when he runs at highspeed velocities?

Only his sneakers would and he wears workboots so they are a little more durable and they arent gonna show his sneakers getin messed up in every episode.

3- How is it possible for a 400 year old witch to look exactly like Lana? Hell how is it possible for lana's great aunt to look exactly like her? when Lana has a mixed heritage of asian,irish, and who knows what else.

Its called t.v why hire an actor to portray someone else when you can have kristen kreuk do it if theyre relatives maybe they are supposed to look exactly alike and the witch possed lanas body so it wasnt really her.

4-The drive time between smallville and metropolis is?

I would imagine about an hour chloe said that in one of the episodes it would take clark 2 hours to get there with all the traffic so normally i imagine About an hour hour and a half.

5-What happened to Chloe's father?

Not sure but she said he walked out on her why would they ever need to show him.?

6-Why doesn't kryptonite effect clark like it does other humans? since he is vulnerable to kryptnite radiation, one must assume he is vunerableto its mutagenic effects as well right?

Nope hes kryptonian so the affetcs are different on him if you assume that then you would aslo have to assume humans are vulnerable to kryptonite as well.

7-Why is it Zod in Lex's body could fly, but Clark,Raya,Zods deciphles, and Brainiac could not fly?

Brainiac is not kryptonian exactly hes just an artificial brain so rule him out and you dont know if Raya or Zods deciples can just cause they didnt show it doesnt mean they cant and as far as clark all the powers are based on age notice as clark got older he got more powerful and more powers so zod isnt exactly young he would have already had the ability to fly therefore he did

8. If kryptonians could travel through time so easily, why couldn't they save themselves and krypton?

They could have no one wanted to listen to Jor-el the council didnt believe him.

9. Why didn't jor-el build a ship for Raya as well?

She explains that i think and if she doesnt maybe he didnt have enough time to build to and of course he would give the ship to his only son.

Well there you go........

 

[StorminNorman]

Zod could fly because he was a great Kryptonian solider, a very powerful warrior. I would assume Raya and the mini-Zods are not as powerful.

Well there you go........

I like your ansewers but some of them dun add up.

my responses to your answer.

1- Clark has run to many different locations, like houdares,seattle etc. Yet he would need to move at the speed of sound or faster to get to those places in 3 seconds like he does.

7- Zod was in a human body, i dun care what kind of powers Lex as given. Zod has never had superpowers before, so him knowing how to fly like that cannot be explained. since none of the kryptonians had powers on Krypton, i assume their would be a learning curve for a bodyless general.

8-Jor-el and i assume other kryptonians had nearly magical time travel crystals, useing that crystal would of made sense when his people were dieing. Im sure they would believe him after they witnessed the planet exploding for the first time.

9- ^ like i said Kryptonians had incredible time altering technology, Jor-el could have had all the time he wanted to.

in response to yours lol

1.when he did run across the globe to houdares the camera panned out and all you can see is earth so you wouldnt be able to see it anyways and as far as seattle goes i dont remeber himrunnig there thts in washington what episode was tht in if you tellmei might have an answer but yea ussualy when he runs that far you dont see him doing it he just winds up there

7.Well you do make a point but it didnt take HIM long to understand it in sueprman 2 so he coulda just caught onto it

8.Well if they saw the planet explode they would have died lol so no one would have been there to use the crystal anyways point is it was a time of panic the only thing on his mind then was getting rid of his son to safety noewhat i mean

9.As far as we know there was ONE crystal to put back time and maybe this crystal only works under the yellow sun or on earth and if i did work it only sent back time so he would just keep going back in time that wouldnt have helped him

I don't make that grammatical mistake, and thanks to your old sig, I don't think I ever will Blk. t:

it is rather annoying.

You guys always brighten up my day. LOL.

They spent time prepping Lex as a vessel for Zod. Presumably altering his body would be enough to allow him to fly. In terms of knowing how to fly. Kryptonians may have known about the effect a yellow sun would have on them. We dont know that they didnt travel off-world.

 

[SatEL]

OK ill give it a shot

1- when clark runs off at supespeeds, why doesn't he cause a sonic boom when he breaks the sound barrier?

Clark doesnt run fast enough to break the sound barrier hes not the flash he breaks it when he flies.

On smallville clark travels a lot faster than sound i would even go as far as to say light speed, do you remember when he saved chole while that hungarian (or whatever he was) gambler was holding her at knife point he moved and no one on the field and in the crowd noticed.

I can answer number two

superman has an aura around him that can make his clothes as invulnerable as he is (that's why in his costume when he's shot the bullets don't go through the cloth)this aura he can extend(so i.e. he grabbed and car and took off flying the car doesn't just tear to pieces over his normal sized hands also this is y ppl he catches in mid air don't die when they hit him at high velocities)

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

8-Jor-el and i assume other kryptonians had nearly magical time travel crystals, useing that crystal would of made sense when his people were dieing. Im sure they would believe him after they witnessed the planet exploding for the first time.

They never said everyone had them to use only that there was 1 in the technology of the Fortress and for all we know they may only work on resetting time on Earth? who knows?

And no one on Krypton would've witnessed it exploding except Jor-El since when he would use the crystal, time would be completely reset and the only one that seems to know it is the person who uses the crystal, hence he'd have the same problem all over again until he ran out of crystals.

if he ran at lightspeed what would that say to Bart Allen that dude leaves clark in the dust

 

[Abaddon]

How did Zod,his minions, and Raya seem to be aware that the yellow sun gave them superhuman abilities?

 

[Cmill216]

Well, regarding Raya, Clark could have, I don't know, told her?

 

[Abaddon]

touche.






but what about the others?

 

[Cmill216]

but what about the others?

Lex/Zod had the powers already (remember? Milton Fine, the virus, yatta yatta).

 

[Abaddon]

so Zod already had superhuman abilities? How is that so if he basically just had Lex injected with kryptonian DNA?
