Are solid objects really “solid”?
If you think about idealized physics scenarios, "frictionless vacuum" or "ignore air resistance" may come to mind, but another even more ubiquitous mechanical approximation is the so-called "rigid body approximation" where solid objects are said to be perfect geometric shapes that don't deform at … I bought 1000 meters of wire to settle a physics debate
I constructed the Veritasium electricity thought experiment in real life to test the result.
