Laws of Physics in The Incredible
In this animated universe, there are lots of unique
characters that has the abilities to defy the law of physics in order to save
their world. They are a family of heroes that ended up having to fight a kid
who grew up to became a nasty villain because the main hero Mr. Incredible
didn't recognize him as his side kick. There is Mr. Incredible, able to lift anything
10x heavier than himself, there is Mrs. Incredible who is pretty much an
elastic woman. She can stretch herself as far as she wants. Their son Dash who
is a speedster, can run faster than any bullet train and travel to another
country and back before you can even say Mississippi. The daughter violet can
hold together a force field to protect herself or just use it to travel around
like a hamster ball. Last but not least their baby boy Jack Jack. He doesn't
really show any crazy abilities until the end of the movie, which he combust into a human torch. That's The Incredible family.
They have a family friend named Frozone. He shoots ice out
of his body and can freeze anything he wants. The villain Syndrome doesn't have
powers so he created an anti gravity bracer so he can lift and hold anything in
the air with a single point. Due to the fact he also can't fly he made jet boots to wear so he can fly around. This
is the cast of the Incredible and I want to get into the Physics of each of
these characters and dissect on why its practical or impractical to this
universe. The Incredible Universe has people that can defies the law of physics
in our world.
The Law of Physics
works very differently when it comes to super powered heroes. Mr. Incredible is
able has super strength that most normal human do not have. Normal human cannot
do lat pulls on 2 freight trains that probably weights around 130ton, or he can hold a car above their head like it's made
out of rubber. Physics does not apply to this man. He can also jump from a 40
floor building to catch someone in mid air, going through a window and end up
without a scratch. The funny thing is the guy he saved end up suing him because
he got hurt. Oh the irony, that's why
sometimes I am not sure if I should move or help someone when they are hurt.
They could blame it on you and sue you. He also has a body that can withstand
electricity like no one can. He still gets shock and hurt but he absorbs them
like a sponge.
Mrs. Incredible can stretch herself as long as she wants
which is very amusing because that makes you into a rubber man/woman. She can
turn into a parachute to slowly descend to the ground at least there is gravity
applied there. Last I remember Elastic or rubber if dropped from a high
altitude do not expand and will just fall with gravity straight to the ground.
So I am kind of antsy about her powers. Is she really Elastic woman or is she a
parachute cloth woman. But you can't stretch cloth it will tear. Her ability is
very questionable. She even turn into a boat going 80 m/h, if a normal person
goes even faster than 50 they probably can be crowned king of the sea. But in
reality they body will be shredded and not in a good way. Water has inertia so
it would tear their flesh off from him if they are going that fast. The resistance
of water is very great.
Dash their speedster son, runs faster than the speed of
light and can also run on water. He can outrun any bullet train or even a
bullet itself. its pretty intense I really like his ability because speed can
do a lot in the Physics world. Speed can cause electromagnetic charges, it can
cause wind, it can let you travel between time if you run faster than the speed
of light. Its just a very helpful power to have. Not to mention transportation
wise you are set. Violet their daughter have an ability that can create a force
field which is pretty cool too. Combining with dash's speed, they run together causing the force field to move forward like a hamster
on a hamster wheel. Its great exercise. She can also make it bigger too, I
guess you can say she is a impenetrable wall. She can even block bullets and laser that is the speed of light. She is able to shield her family from a an explosion. Normally it would blast them away with physics but her shield is so strong it stays in place.
Frozone can freeze bullets with ice an its pretty nuts because
he can also freeze any liquid even spit. In order for a human to freeze liquid
their body would have to be way below absolute zero to cause any liquid they
touch to also freeze. He shoots out ice and makes a make shift bridge out of it
which is pretty neat. He slides around on it to travel around. With Law and Physics
if applied to this man, he would be dead and its impossible for someone to be
freezing a bullet that is traveling at a high velocity. The also goes with Mr.
and Mrs. Incredible youngest son Jack Jack. At the end of the movie we learn
that he can turn himself into as heavy as metal or even harder. Then he can
combust his body to flame on. Not to mention he can also become a monster. This
little kid has so much powers its crazy. The becoming metal part there is no
way the villain could of held on to him while he turned into metal because his initial
force of holding him wasn't the same as the one when he turned to metal.
Last but not least there is the villain Syndrome. Because he
is an ordinary human. He has no power even though he wants to be a superhero.
So he turned into a villain pretending to save the world by creating robots to
attack them and faking to save them. He wanted to defy the law of physics so
much he made himself a anti gravity bracer where he can hold and freeze anything
with a point of his fingers and lift it up as it weights nothing. He also have
jet boots to fly. I feel bad for him but he shouldn't try so hard.
Overall I really enjoy this movie, when I was a kid I
dreamed of having super power and this Pixar movie made me so happy. The laws
of physics on it is a little wacky but I don't mind that one bit. It showed me
that just because you are an ordinary man, that doesn't mean you can't be a
hero. You just can't turn yourself into a villain and try so hard to please
people.
I sort of deviated from the outline because I believe there is more to talk about with the Laws of Physics in this movie with these characters. The environment and other stuff doesn't really have much of an impact for me to talk about. In the end the characters are whats the main point for the law of physics in this universe.
