This is a very interesting video of James Kakalios, a physics professor at Minnesota University. In it, he explains some of the science behind the origins, and powers of Dr. Manhattan. The character Dr. Manhattan is a character in the graphic novel The Watchmen, which is getting the big screen treatment this weekend.

Kakalios was also a consultant for the movie, and helped some of the designers with the science aspect behind Jon Osterman turning into Dr. Manhattan. Kakalios is nerd, but hey this is TechDune where everything is nerd. And nerd is cool.
