Science ABC
Description
Science gets a bad rep for being boring, difficult and for very smart people (see: nerds). But that doesn't have to be the case. At ScienceABC we believe that if science is communicated simply and made relatable and fun, it can be for everyone. As Micheal Jackson said best, "as simple as ABC."
So far, we've tackled complex and vast topics like Einstein's Time Dilation, the Immune System, Evolution, Quantum Entanglement, while also asking the questions that nag us at night like "Is the science in the movies accurate?", "Is it possible to have insects the size of humans?", and "Why can I hear a thundering sound in my ear?"
So, join us for some simple science with a whole lot of fun thrown in! Subscribe to our channel for your weekly dose of science and don't forget to share our work if you liked it.

Hello, everyone! We are aware of the mistake of using the word "dampening" instead of "damping." Unfortunately, YouTube does not allow you to make corrections, so please bear with us.

Can't believe the amount of genius engineering that went into a pile of rocks.

I used to work in a quarry, making track ballast.

Another reason is sparks... the steel rusts and the train's rims kick sparks off the lines creating fires. The rocks stop vegetation. I've seen several rail line fires in dry months

One benefit that you may have missed: due to the good drainage a railroad beds they act as floating foundations, preventing heaving during freezing weather. This is sort of the same feature as your benefit number 4, good drainage, but applies during freezing weather.

I pass by these kind of stone on a rail track at least once a day and never have I stopped to think what thoughts went behind them. What really amazes me is how simple of a solution this is to multiple problems thats are completely of different nature.

4:05 I always want to put my ear down to the rail to listen for a train because you can hear a train coming miles away, way before you could see it.

It’s fascinating how complex trains and the railroad systems are yet someone came up with all this stuff. Brilliant.

In the days of wooden ships, empty ships returning home were too light and therefore not too stable. So they used rocks to weigh them down. From the term "bare load" we get the term "ballast."

Aren't these rocks the stuff prisoners are stereotypically depicted to be making in movies and cartoons?

I didn't know there is so much science involved in the railway track. And I thought the train itself is already complex.
