It possesses the atomic number 46 and belongs to the precious elements, like platinum. Using palladium as a energy sourceĪll along the first movie, and the beginning of the second movie, Tony Stark's armors is powered by a palladium power-core.įirstly, whereas Wolverine's adamantium, Captain America's vibranium or the unobtainium in Avatar are fictitious metals, palladium is a real material. At such a distance, the shock-wave would hit Stark and the soldiers after 2 minutes. Using some shots, like this picture that I assume was taken roughly 20 meters from Stark, and knowing that Robert Downey Jr measures 1,73 meters (5 feet 8 inches), the Thales theorem tells me that the explosion takes place 40 kilometers away.Įven if the explosion was the biggest explosion ever, a shock-wave only moves at the speed of sound. Also, judging with the absence of vegetation, Stark must himself be at about 3000 meters above sea-level. Taking into account the snow limit on the mountain tops with the snow limit of mount Kilimandjaro (or any other mountain in the world), we can assume that the mountains are about 6500 meters height (Afghanistan is in facts full of mountains, and some tops are above 7700 meters height). ![]() In facts, the explosion that happen on the side of the mountains takes place much farther! Shock-waves travel at the speed of sound: that makes the Jericho missile explode at roughly 1 kilometers away. The science fact that is wrong here is the shock-wave: in the movie, it takes about 3 seconds to arrive to Stark and the soldiers. He tests it in front of American soldiers who are then blown by the shock wave of the explosion. Tony Stark is in Afghanistan for a live demo of his last weapon: the Jericho missile. If in 2018 those things are pure science-fiction, the movies are showing interesting sciences facts, some of them that would make Newton, Faraday or Darwin turning over in their graves…īefore talking about Iron Man in person, let’s talk about the beginning of the first movie. It stars the eccentric billionaire inventor Tony Stark who builds a intelligent and technologically advanced exosqueleton that allows him inter alia to use weapons and fly. The Iron Man movies are a Marvel franchise (part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe), with three parts (until now) released in 2008, 20. ![]()
