Adam, I’m pretty sure that the radiation changed all of Godzilla’s matter into various forms of carbon nanotube infused matter. This would increase the strength of his bones, skin, heart, etc. and be lightweight and extra absorbent (to incoming missiles). It also explains why he eats radiation instead of food. Carbon nanotubes don’t need no stinking food.
In the ‘reflexes’ portion of the Godzilla segment, Adam mentions that “pain takes about 2 feet per second to reach the nervous system”. Can we get some background info on that, because just on the face of it, it doesn’t make sense. I’m 6′ tall, but if I stub my toe, I know about it within maybe 1/10 of a second (a second at most) – but his statement would seem to indicate that it’d take 3 seconds.
