The Green Goblin stands atop a bridge. In one hand, he holds M.J., Spider-Man's love interest. In the other, he holds a rail car filled with passengers.
Preposterous, right?
Costas Efthimiou, a physics professor at the University of Central Florida, knows it's just a movie, but it bothers him that the Green Goblin stands still, holding the two objects as if they were bowling balls of equal weight.
"You are going to move toward the force that is stronger," he said. "In the movie, it shows the Green Goblin standing still. That's not possible."

A Florida man who claims Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 scratches game discs has sued the company, saying the consoles are "negligently designed and manufactured."
In the lawsuit filed Monday in a Florida federal court, Jorge Brouwer says Microsoft has received thousands of complaints but has not replaced all scratched discs. The lawsuit seeks class-action status.
Brouwer said his Xbox 360 scratched two games, "Gears of War" and "Madden NFL 07," and that Microsoft offered to replace them for a $20 fee. He is seeking more than $5 million in damages, according to the court filing.
Last week, Microsoft extended the warranty for the Xbox 360 consoles that completely stop working due to a vague condition the company calls "general hardware failure." This is a separate issue from the scratched discs, though Brouwer's lawsuit cited it as evidence Microsoft "is well aware that the Xbox 360 console has been defective since its introduction to the marketplace."
