Every human on the planet vs superman

Do you wish to expand on this statement? I must confess I haven't read Superman in ages, so you lost me a bit. . . 😕

In our world, kryptonite is used in high-speed flash photography, for the flash, so TECHNICALLY if we all took pictures of Supes with these cameras, it would mess him up and eventually kill him.

Sorry for the harshness, belittlement and ego. About the ego I can do nothing, I'm afraid, I am a legend in my own mind, after all 😛

As for the harshness, again my apologies, I debate/argue/analyse for a living, and yes, I do tend to come down hard on weaknesses in arguments, that's what I get paid for.

But the debate got sidetracked when somebody claimed Superman was faster than the speed of thought. I just responded. I have very little tolerance for ignorance. Sorry again. 😉

actually it is the same thing, its called kryptonite when solid, but when not its just called krypton but it is the same substance.

Attacking what you may percieve as the weakness is just a way of ignoring the body of an arguement. In this case you failed, and went off on a tangent disregarding the original thoughts. And eventually then you were proven wrong, because Superman is faster than thought, the forum rule says so... the one you're typing on.. Also, even the depowered Superman in Superman: Red Sun told the Green Lantern Marine Corp that he was faster than thought so their weapons based on thought were useless before smashing them. Besides, if he's faster than light speed, and hops in and out of Black holes, he's well beyond thought speed. Seriously.

Concerning Superspeed

It's said that the speed of thought is about 30 m/s.
Note that it's meters per second, not miles
Reference:http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/DavidParizh.shtml
(Now this isn't in stone, if you feel you know something that you believe is better, then go with it)

Please refer to my previous statements, where I tried to explain to you the difference between reaction and thought.

And having a good, extensive, well-thought out argument, with a flaw, renders the argument null and void. Basic debating rules. A chain is only as good as its weakest link.

It's not the rock from his home-planet though.

I'm going with science, rather.

it doesnt actually matter , because it is still the same substance, carbon is carbon no matter where its found, its always gonna b carbon

Refer to my edited post, wher I refer to the difference between reaction (physical impulses transmitted via the neural system) and thought.

Or where is it I fail?

White Kryptonite: Kills all plant life, whether Kryptonian or not. Induces decay immediately upon exposure, with a range of about 25 yards.

but has no effect on non-plant life

Solidifeid krypton is not refered to as kryptonite:

Now we're arguing about our arguements? 😬

And no matter HOW you split it kryptonite is not found on earth.

What is it you do not understand, when I explain to you there is a difference between reaction (physical impulses transmitted via the neural system) and thought?

The forum rules themselves say if you know better, go with it. Look at the link - the experiments concern reaction (PHYSICAL REACTION), i.e. how long does it take for the impulses to travel through your nervous system. This is a basic senior psychology student experiment.

Here, look at this -

Applying the Einstein’s theory to the process of personal innovation, E is the thought energy, m the physical effort, and c the speed of thought, which is infinitely larger compared to the speed of light. At the speed of thought one can go to any place of the world in no time; light does not even have to reach there.

The part where you keep/kept claiming that Superman is NOT faster than thought, when the RULES of the forum you're on right now say he does?

He's trying to make a distinction between thought and the synapse...apparently a concept that not everyone here can grasp.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

See with the whole Superman Lex thing see Lex(i.e the bad guy) has tried killing Superman(the good guy) a lot and has failed each and every time Superman doesn't try to kill Lex but, stop him which he has been. Now to get back on topic Superman wins unlike most think Batman is not the only JLA member who's smart and uses and is good with prep time. He'll most likely destroy all the missiles first and attack the BIG countries first i.e. America,Japan,England, etc then he'll keep the third world countries like Iraq, Mexico as slaves.

It doesn't even take the kind of power Superman has. You give me even a fraction of the kind of power he wields, and I can bring the world to its knees, no sweat. Guarantee it.

Part of the problem is it's difficult to even pinpoint a single target (although it helps a little that it's a target in goofy blue-and-red spandex), much less a target with the kind of mobility Superman has. Entire governments can have trouble locating a single NON-POWERED person (not that I believe our government ever REALLY cared about getting bin Laden to begin with, but that's political, so I won't go there). Superman could easily remain hidden indefinitely if he desired -- not that he'd NEED to since even if he just stood there and said, "Go ahead and give it your best, everyone" we STILL couldn't stop him.

Hell, you know what? I could take down the world with Superman's super-speed alone. No other powers. Who would stop me? With what? With that kind of power, I could take over any military installation you care to name in minutes, easy. I'd make a personal playpen of Area 51 for the sheer hell of it.

Ditto if I had just his invulnerability and nothing else, though it would take a lot longer to get everything done then.

Now if I only had his strength ... well, that would be problematic. I'd be killed by weapons then.

Good points, well made, Orestes.
