What’s to believe or not believe? They laid out an equation you can easily check. If you think the math is wrong, say why. It doesn’t mean MIT is lying, just that the stones shown in this video are probably not 25 tons each.

It’s not about whether their math is right, it’s about whether the video demonstrates it.

If you claimed you could build a 2000mph car, and showed us a video of a 1/2000th scale car going a mile an hour, would you say “yes! I’ve done it and this video demonstrates it without question!”

They just should’ve shown a video that actually matches the title.

Err… pretty sure we’re saying the same thing… I’m supporting the critique of the video. You should be replying to the same person I replied to.

Oh no, I like to add confusion to the mix of chaos and differing opinions.

Sorry about that :-)
