Episode Synopsis

Gravity is one of the most constant forces in our universe, yet it often goes unnoticed in everyday life. This video explores how gravity quietly shapes the world around us, from the way buildings stand tall to how water flows through pipes, bridges carry loads, and machines stay stable. By looking at familiar systems through the lens of gravity, we uncover how engineers rely on this force to design structures and technologies that are safe, efficient, and reliable. What feels ordinary is actually the result of careful planning around a force that never takes a break.Understanding gravity helps us better appreciate the hidden logic behind engineering decisions we see every day. Whether it’s managing weight, balance, pressure, or motion, gravity influences nearly every design choice engineers make.
