In this episode of Science Buffs, Abby and Sam delve into the intricate world of structural engineering, exploring how the Leaning Tower of Pisa has defied the laws of physics for centuries.
Abby discusses the ingenious techniques employed by the tower's architects and engineers to counteract its lean, from its initial construction in the 12th century to modern-day preservation efforts. She provides insights into the geological factors that led to its leaning, the innovative solutions devised to stabilize its tilt, and the ongoing challenges faced in maintaining its structural integrity.
