It was really about creating a connection that didn't exist, about creating a statement towards the future, and that's through engineering and it's through architecture.

When a boat enters the wheel, the Archimedes principle takes effect, displacing its own weight in water.
speaker_2NARRATOR
This keeps the wheel balanced.
speaker_2NARRATOR
So, despite its 1,800 ton mass, in four minutes, it can rotate 180 degrees using just 22.5 kilowatts of power.
Michael RussellHOST
So the mass of the metal isn't a big deal, but the volume can be.
Michael RussellHOST
So this is an example of what we call the Archimedes principle.
Michael RussellHOST
It's where the water is-- or solvent is displaced, uh, by the object, and the difference in the volumes will be the volume of the object.
Michael RussellHOST
So mathematically here, what you wanna do, density is mass, this number, divided by volume.
Lulu MillerHOST
And it is not just tobogganing and nuts that crows can crack.
Lulu MillerHOST
[nut cracking] Turns out crows have also cracked one of the most complex laws of physics, Archimedes' principle of displacement, that has to do with dropping things [water splashing] in the water to solve really complicated problems.
Alan GoffinskiHOST
No.
Emma TerryGUEST
Yep.
Mirza Yawar BaigHOST
I know this is a sign of insanity, You tell me on whose part.
Mirza Yawar BaigHOST
Let me ask you, what you think will happen if you give those who are affected by the rules, that is children, to make the rules? If you give them the authority to make the rules? After all, that's what democracy and freedom is all about, isn't it? When are children supposed to learn to use democratic principles and freedom, value it, deal with problems that may arise, and practice it responsibly? When do you expect them to do that when you don't allow them to do that in their schools? Let's ask what happens in our schools.
Mirza Yawar BaigHOST
As I mentioned earlier, if you want to see what someone values, see what they measure, what do we measure? What are the metrics we use? Do we measure taqwa and akhlaq? Do we even know how to measure them? You might say, that's all, just two things.
Mirza Yawar BaigHOST
I say, yes, because values drive behavior and behavior drives results.
Lea OwensHOST
You know, remaining calm, not panicking, spreading your body weight out on top of the quicksand, and all that Fortunately, he was in no danger of sinking in over his head like in the movies.
Lea OwensHOST
In real life, thanks to something called the Archimedes principle, the farthest a person will sink into quicksand is up to their waist.
Lea OwensHOST
Unless one is unlucky enough to fall into quicksand headfirst, or unless one falls into quicksand that happens to be located at the edge of tidal waters, the danger of quicksand isn't usually drowning, it's exposure.
Lea OwensHOST
Obviously, I wasn't going to let exposure or any Hockomock cryptids get Scott.
Mirza Yawar BaigHOST
You tell me on whose part.

You might say that's all, just two things.
Mirza Yawar BaigHOST
I say yes, because values drive behavior and behavior drives results.
Mirza Yawar BaigHOST
Taqwa is the core value and Akhlaq covers all behavior.
Reuben HunterUNKNOWN
How on earth does that thing float? I just don't get it.
Reuben HunterUNKNOWN
You say, "Oh, well, look, you don't understand the Archimedes principle.
Reuben HunterUNKNOWN
What the Archimedes principle tells us is that an object floats when the weight of the water it displaces equals the total weight of the object.
Reuben HunterUNKNOWN
You need to get your head around something called buoyant force, Ruben.
Reuben HunterUNKNOWN
That's the issue." I understand the words.
