Most People Don’t Know

If you manage to wrap a cylinder around the Eiffel Tower, the air inside the cylinder will outweigh the weight of the tower itself!

Gustav Eiffel, the man behind the design of the monument, was an absolute genius. The Eiffel Tower's design is actually inspired by the biological structure of the femur (the human thigh bone). He was once researching the structure of the femur and realized that the connection, or the joint, between the femur and hip bone is made up of many minute fibre like material called the trabaculae, which are woven in a criss cross pattern. So basically, they involve a lot of air gaps in between them rather than the actual bone material.

In layman's terms, there's material only where you need it to be, i.e, only where the forces are actually acting. Eiffel used this concept in designing the trusses (the X shaped components of structures) used in the tower which, if you look more closely, has a lot of holes.

This significantly reduces the weight of the structure as you can leave the rest of the space empty.

Here's the math for it (it's quite rudimentary, but it'll give you a rough picture):

The weight of the tower is 7300 tonnes. Yes, the air which would be in the place of the tower has also been counted but still, there's a difference of over 2000 tonnes! And we're literally talking steel v/s air here.

The femur bone is one of the many naturally nano engineered structures from which structural engineers derive inspiration. Imagine the amount of steel which appears to be used in the construction; that still weighs less than the air surrounding it. This particular branch of structural engineering is called biomimetics.

Most Fascinating Science Facts

This is for someone who is new to science or has very less knowledge (maybe enough for zombie apocalypse survival). Just kidding. Have a look here:-

What is this? If you don't know, it's benzene (C6H6)

Now what is it? Any detail? Well, here you go.

Benzene is basically a colourless liquid with sweet smell, a natural constituent found in gasoline and crude oil.

It is a harmful chemical whose ingestion can occur through skin, inhalation etc. Short term exposure can lead to drowsiness, headache however, long term exposure can lead to Anaemia, Leukemia and other blood disorders. It has basically carcinogenic properties.

Plastic, explosives and dyes, benzene contributes in good amount while their manufacturing.

Now, look at this:-

What is this? This is phenol (C6H6O)

What is it? Details you asked for? Here you go, my reader:-

Phenol is a colourless crystalline solid with a distinct odor.

Although it is also used in making synthetic fibres, plastics but it is also used in drugs like aspirin (yes that one you have while you have that near death experience while headache) and other pharmaceuticals.

Now, as a beginner or one having very less knowledge in science, find what is difference in both? Just a difference of that branch of -OH. That's it. But, what is surprising to see is that both things have just opposite properties. While benzene has carcinogenic properties(cancer causing properties), phenol treats acts as important constituent in making medical supplies. One is like poison whereas other one is like nectar. Science is indeed fun. Isn't it?

15 years ago, Mark Zuckerberg

 

15 years ago, Mark Zuckerberg, invited 5 people to his Harvard room.

Reason? To talk about a business opportunity. Only 2 went to meet him and listened to him and accepted the challenge!

Today, both are BILLIONAIRES! Dustin Moskovitz with over $6.5 billion and Eduardo Saverin with over $3.4 billion.

When a friend tells you about a business opportunity, listen and open your mind. Come on, you’ll never know!

Mark, what a true Legend!! 🏆
