Creator's Key Takeaways
ships have the incredibly bad habit of occasionally sinking now it doesn't happen often but when it does oh boy
Archimedes principle helps us understand why some things float While others sink it's all about the relationship between the weight of the object and the weight of the water it displaces
the ship's crew could actually hear air being forced out of a vent on the folkl deck at the bow of the ship now this vent LED right down into a tank at the bottom of the ship that would usually be empty except that the vent was making a hissing sound
there is simply no such thing as an unsinkable ship
