SMBC Physics - Why are Stones Round feat. Zach Weiner

The video explores the formation of spherical and flat stones, highlighting how spherical stones lack a preferred orientation due to constant movement, while flat stones develop a preferred orientation due to gravity. The analogy of dumplings and biscuits illustrates this concept. The video also covers sedimentary rock formation and how gravity influences the structure of buildings, contrasting it with a hypothetical scenario in outer space.

What role does gravity play in the formation of flat stones?

Discuss how the absence of gravity in outer space would affect the shape of living structures.
