Over the weekend, I decided to go out and watch Thor. It was a phenomenal movie! After doing some research, I realized that Thor's "magical" hammer defies, or goes against, the laws of Physics. The following video provides a clear demonstration as to how this hammer works against the fundamental ideas of Isaac Newton. Instead of having force dictate where the hammer will end up, Thor uses magic to control its trajectory.
I hope you all enjoy this clip and see the relationship with Physics.
