X-Club #1 - "We Do Science! Part One"

[laughing_tree]

Honestly, anyone with even a passing interest in science will know that we live amidst a conceptual swamp of brain-meltingly insane truths and mysteries. Every time we make a breakthrough we explode a billion new questions. Ours is a universe where – just to give you one example – two particles can be “entangled” so that by manipulating one, the other mirrors its behaviour instantly… even if they’re separated by massive distances. And nobody knows exactly why. Even Einstein, everyone’s brainiac of choice, called it “spooky action at distance”. Some people act like Science is this boring force which comes along and steals all the magic and mystery from the world, and yet here we have one of the greatest intellects of the recent past describing things as “spooky”…? Science is brilliant. -- Si Spurrier

Ah, my lack of DC knowledge is exposed. Fish-like warriors sound ok, but do they have anything as cool as a radioactive death from above seagull or flying turtlossus?

That's an awfully high bar.
