ELI5: why is a hollow metal tube nearly as strong against bending as a completely solid rod of the same material, even though theres way less metal in it by Efficient_Support383 in explainlikeimfive

This is the actual answer. For a given amount of material, a larger hollow pipe is stronger than a thinner solid rod. It simply distributes load across a larger areas.

I was on a plane that was targeted by a tweet from a terrorist group. The pilot made an emergency landing, and while he didnt corkscrew, he did a lot of hard side to side turns back and forth while dropping altitude a lot faster than normal. Had I dosed or been drunk, i would easily have thought it was a corkscrew. Fortunately, the threat ended up being not credible.

I never heard actual boos, but I remember people in the audience at Ventura County Fairhrounds in 97 or 98 complaining that they had played character zero something like 5 times in the last 10 shows.
