Or the writing is inconsistent. It's not like this is the first time this has happened in comics.

are you suggesting I should go through every scan posted and explain why it isn't scientificly possible?
madness sir! I'm not that much of a glutton for punishment

If it says "knowledge", you are 100% right, lifting it means nothing. But the rabid Superman fanboys latched on to this feat and are milking it for everything it's worth. Plus why would Superman AND Captain Marvel strain to lift a book of infinite 'knowledge'? Why would the Superman fanboys drool over this feat?

The fact that they mentioned that it had INFINITE pages was meant to convey the epicness of them lifting it. Otherwise, who the xxxx cares that two superhumans lifted a book. I can lift a book. You can lift a book. Big deal.
Originally posted by zopzopIm making it up, just like you made up that the book actually weighed anything. it clearly doesnt follow physical laws as it has an inifinite number of pages but not infinite volume. so why would it have infinite weight? comic itself says nothing of the weight, just says they struggled, which should be more symbolic than anything.
Was that stated on panel or you just making stuff up as you go along?

I'm not arguing that they wanted to make it a big feat
all I'm saying, and as you agree, comics don't necessarily make sense, and your own example shows that the writers didn't explicitly say the book had infinite mass. You can't make the leap from one to the other, because, comics don't make sense. There is no intrinsic logic to the universe that allows you to infer a conclusion from a set of observations like that.

Except that iirc, it wasn't stated that Superman couldn't lift it alone. Just because Billy lifted it too, doesn't mean that Superman couldn't do it by himself.
iirc Superman only asks Billy to help him before he even tries to lift it.
It has been a while since I read it though, so if I'm mistaken, then fair enough.
Originally posted by -Pr-i guess, ultraman lifted it solo, but dwelling on these types of feats is pointless. superman has better lifting/strength feats that are more applicable to "normal" situations.

if the book is or is not infinite in mass, it doesn't change the fact that superman is one of the strongest beings in comics. i could personally forget it even happened.

Book said infinite pages, not a big stretch to assume infinite weight.
kinda like oh idunno....the rock of eternity 🙂
