Infinity War

Super Heroes

         Infinity war is one of the many superhero movies where the powers or creations that the superheroes use go against Newton's laws of physics. There are many scenes in the movie where Newton's laws are clearly violated but you might not pay much attention to if you were just watching the movie normally.

         The first scene that comes to mind is when Bruce Banner is in Iron Mans suit that he used to take on the Hulk. In this scene Bruce is running out in the field and doing jumps and all sorts of movements but the ground under him is not affected at all. This goes against Newton's third law that states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If the scene actually followed this law the ground that is under Bruce as he is running and jumping would be completely destroyed, but in the movie the ground is entirely unharmed and there is not even as much as a footprint left behind.


        The second scene or scenes that come to mind is whenever a character gets hit by an attack that has a lot of force to it, the ground underneath the person who gets hit does not get destroyed. This is another example of Newton's third law being broken. A good example of this happening is when Iron Man anchors himself into the ground and then proceeds to hit Thanos with a lot of force. However, after being hit with so much force the ground underneath Thanos is not affected at all. For this scene there is an action but no equal and opposite reaction.


         A third scene that goes against one of Newton's laws is whenever Doctor Strange decides that he wants to float up into the air. Scenes like this go against Newton's first law where an object in motion will stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it. In the movie Doctor Strange can levitate up into the air will ease even though gravity is acting on him. If the physics behind him levitating were true then he would just keep floating up since there is apparently no force acting on him to keep him down.

  1. You have a couple good examples, particularly your first 2 referencing Newton's 3rd Law. In your third example, you need to be clearer about how Dr. Strange is either violating Newton's 1st or 2nd Law.
