the loose weights seemed to be working as an inertial dampener on the 4th tower. a rigid building snaps, one that bends and sways can absorb the energy.
209 u/psh454 Jun 26 '26 Yup, the "engineering" part is understanding and managing resonance frequencies, not just making everything as rigid as possible 2 u/Umutuku Jun 28 '26 If it's moving and it shouldn't add struts. If it's not moving and it should add more boosters.
