This is really interesting. How incredibly quickly things change.

Dam those dam engineers. Imagine China got the ball rolling circa 1830. We'd probably living in a Dyson's Sphere by now.

That bridge in France. Any logical reason why you would complicate an already complicated structure by putting a curve in it. Hows about straight and rearrange the ends be a dam site cheaper.

1:15:00 fluorine repels all other...

🤔... Maybe place it on the bottom of aircraft, energize it.... Maybe it will defy gravity😂😂

The only thing that bothers me is how every single example or analogy that they use to demonstrate the forces are all so laughable & flawed with their explaniations haha
especially with the teflon demonstration too! - like they have the weight on the rear of a sled, being pulled to demonstrate friction coefficients? or whatever - haha
the entire 'scientific experiment' is dependant on the angle of attack, and the contact patch of the sled - while the shape of the sled is also a huge factor, -why not just pull it vertically? and not stu pid like hahaha

This is a PRIME example of a generation of people who learned everything from AI & Chat GPT hahahaha and its really obvious now.
makes me feel smart for learning everything on my own haha 😂

"Population 1.4 billion and rising..."
Wrong.
Population level at about 1.4 billion. Probably facing a generation of slight decline.

Impossible number of ads. Worst on YouTube.

stupid name, '...impossible..' engineering, but infact its NOT impossible, its been done. look up the word IMPOSSIBLE...
