Is Spiderman really exist?
Scientificly speaking, spider man can’t exist because humans would need 40% of their total body surface or about 80% of the front covered with sticky pads before they would be able to climb walls. Though they could go the way of the gecko and put them all on their feet, the study's senior author Walter Federie, estimates that they would have to be the equivalent of US shoe size 114 (European 145).
However!
That does not mean we can’t mimic their super ability, even though it doesn’t come from a radioactive spider!
GECKO GLOVES
It has 24 adhesive tiles that have been covered with tiny sawtooth-shaped polymer structures each measuring 100 micrometers in length. The Stanford team says that the current prototype of the Gecko Glove can withstand up to 200 pounds. According to graduate student Eric Eason, who worked on the project with Hawkes, "When the pad first touches the surface, only the tips touch, so it's not sticky. But when the load is applied, and the wedges turn over and come into contact with the surface, that creates the adhesion force." With these ingenious gloves, anyone can attain Spider-Man-like wall scaling powers instantly.
Web Shooters?
Suprisingly, you can search this up on youtube! some creatives minds have figured out the mechanical part of this web shots. To create a web shooter like Spider-Man's, most people use craft materials such as PVC pipe, glue, paint, and Velcro. They often use craft foam, which can be found at craft stores or in the arts and crafts aisle of major grocery stores and super centers. The foam can be painted to match the desired color, and details can be added with additional foam or other materials. The web shooter can be customized with specific shapes or emblems, and Velcro is used to attach the shooter to the wrist. However, the challenging lies on the the fluid itself! No one has yet engineered a liquid webbing with the same robustness and resilience as Spider-Man's. Spider silk boasts incredible strength and durability, surpassing even titanium in weight-to-strength ratio! But what if...
someone could develop a synthetic spiderweb that could also be kept in a liquid form in the cartridges, an honest to God web shooter might just be possible!!
And hear me out guys, not only that, you may have a...
Spidey-Sense
This ability is kinda like intelligence capable of parsing Parker’s surroundings, to identifying and critically evaluating a possible threat and furnishing this information instantaneously. But i can’t deny the fact about people saying this ability is something supernatural and impossible to be real. Yeah, might be more common known as “Sixth Sense” And spidey-sense is different to human sense. Maybe we can get sensitive about what’s gonna happen nearly us, or what kind of thing that exist around us. It’s not work as same as the spidey-sense goes, ‘cause we didn’t have spider-speed nor spider-grip to support spidey-sense ability. The question is... is it still possible for us having a spidey-sense? Who knows? technology will answer it.
...last but not least here's a reminder from us
Just because we don’t posses any super powers, that doesn’t mean we should limit our ability to invent and think critically in daring situation! Even when it leads to some mistakes. Keep going and you’ll get there, Remember, everyone can be anyone ! “and remember, erasing someone’s memory is never a good solution to fix your mistake “
