| So in regards to this, how realistic is it to expect that a person from such a planet would have the strength and density of the original superman? Would he be dense enough to be bullet proof? Would he be more powerful than a locomotive? I don't imagine he would be faster than a speeding bullet (at least, not due just to the higher gravity).
Is it realistic to expect that a higher gravity planet could produce a stronger, denser humanoid species, or would it be more realistic to expect that any life that would evolve on a high-gravity planet would be . . . softer? More malleable to better deal with higher physical stresses where more rigid life forms would be more prone to being crushed?
Assuming that a being such as the original superman did exist on such a planet, and travelled instantaneously to Earth (i.e. not accounting for time space travel in low or zero gravity), how long would it be before his muscles atrophied to the point where he would be no stronger than a human being? |
