DESCRIPTION:The Coolidge Corner Theatre concludes this season’s _Science 
 on Screen_ series with SUPERMAN\, the original superhero blockbuster starri
 ng Christopher Reeve. Before the film\, Max Tegmark\, Associate Professor o
 f Physics at MIT\, will give a talk on the science of superheroes. 
\n
\nCl
 ark Kent (Reeve)\, a reporter for the _Daily Planet_ newspaper\, has a secr
 et identity: he’s Superman\, a larger-than-life figure with great powers.
   He can fly\, outrun a train\, and lift a one-ton truck.  His mission: “
 To fight for truth\, justice\, and the American Way.”  But Lex Luthor (Ge
 ne Hackman) has other ideas -- to sabotage a pair of nuclear missiles and u
 se them to create an earthquake that will wipe out the California coastline
 .  Superman must race against time and stop Luthor’s sinister plan before
  millions of innocents are killed.  
\n
\nWhile MIT doesn't have courses li
 ke "Shooting Laser-Beams from the Eyes 101" or "Advanced Leaping of Buildin
 gs in a Single-Bound\," it turns out there's some real science behind these
  fantasies.  Guest speaker Max Tagmark\, whose primary area of research is 
 precision cosmology\, will shed some light on this topic.
\n
\nThe Science 
 on Screen series is co-presented by The Museum of Science and New Scientist
  magazine. 
\n
\nA new season of _Science on Screen_ will start in Septembe
 r '08.
