  • That was basically just the process of creating bridges back then, it's not far off from how it works today...

    I don't think that was an avoidable issue, you need to build temporary support structures while bridge building is in progress. In other words, if an extensive support structure is a deal breaker for you, it turns out you're not building a bridge today.

  • To construct it they would have had to build a support structure nearly a thousand feet long, across a river, that could take the weight of a masonry arch bridge nearly a thousand feet long until the keystones could be put in. Not hard to imagine why it got rejected.

    👽️🔭Scientists just found a Super-Earth Exoplanet.It's just 18 light-years away: a super-Earth named GJ 251c with a minimum mass about 3.84 times that of our own planet. The most exciting part? It's smack-bang in its star's habitable zone — an orbital distance neither too far from nor too close to the star to support life.🖇️Check my Image Description’s🖇️https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/ae0e20#251c #exoplanet #astronomy #physics #science #media #space #observation #tech #news

    Quantum Rayleigh-Taylor InstabilityThe Rayleigh-Taylor instability–typically marked by mushroom-shaped plumes–occurs when a dense fluid accelerates into a less dense one. But researchers have now demonstrated the effect at quantum scales, too.For their experiment, the group used a Bose-Einstein condensate of sodium atoms and made the interface between them by exciting half of the atoms into a spin-up state and half into a spin-down one. With the interface is place, they reversed the magnetic field gradient, inducing a force on the atoms equivalent to the buoyant force seen in conventional Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities. As shown above, the interface first warped, then developed Rayleigh-Taylor mushrooms and eventually became turbulent. (Image and research credit: Y.

    Let's say you're a parasitic ant queen eyeing the colony of another species. But ants will attack anything that smells like trouble, and boy, do you smell like trouble.So you execute a simple plan:1. Hide your scent by rubbing one of the colony's workers all over your body2. Stealthily infiltrate the nest3. Ambush the queen and spray her with chemicals from your abdomen4. Sit back and watch as her daughters tear her to bits5. All hail the usurper!https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/17/science/parasitic-ant-queen-workers-kill-mother#science #ants
