Ot Physicists...question about Batman vs. Superman movie...

Haven't thought about that, and that's actually what happened in "The Dark Knight Returns", which Snyder ripped off but had no idea why that story works.

I don't even remember that happening. I think by this point in the movie I was looking up exes on Facebook on my phone.

A nuclear EMP burst has a limit. And high altitude nukes have been donated before. Look up operation starfish prime.

I imagine the zero or low gravity would affect it as well.

It is a misconception that there is no gravity in space. In low earth orbit (250 miles above the surface) the force of gravity is still 90% of what it would be on the earth's surface.

The sense of weightlessness is due to the fact that the object is orbiting the earth and is essentially continually falling.

Nah dude you're thinking of higgs photons and other earth physics, this is space gravity we're talking about. Hole different ball game.

why wouldn't the EMP from the bomb that high up in space touch the whole city below also?? I thought the EMP pulse was infinitely spherical?

---

if EMPs were always hitting the earth we wouldnt have a fricking planet.

thankfully our beautiful magnetoshpere which is likely undergoing a reversal has and protects us the majority of the time.

Plus the fact that there's no air and gravity can't exist in a vacuum.

WRONG!!!

The moon orbits the earth because of the gravity that exists within the vacuum of space between them.

The earth orbits the sun because of the gravity that exists within the vacuum of space between them.

See where I am going with this?

Our Solar System moves the way it does within the Milky Way Galaxy because of the gravity that exists within the vacuum of space.

Lots of factors people don't know about space gravity.

That is the ONLY thing that you said right and you actually proved it.

Nice job!!!

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you meant to phrase this differently.

Look I get what you're saying, it's a comic book movie and we have to take things with a grain of salt. But gravity in space is just stupid, it's a vacuum so you can't hear anything including gravity.

Gimme a second I'll link the wiki pages so you can study up on this.
