Why the World is Obsessed with This $2,000 Cube (Tungsten Paradox)

Описание: Hold a one-inch cube that weighs as much as a brick. Tungsten is one of the most mysterious and extreme elements on Earth. It has the highest melting point of all metals, survives rocket engine heat, and pierces through the thickest armor. But why does China control 70% of the global supply, and why is this "indestructible" metal as fragile as glass in its pure form?

In this video, we dive deep into:
The massive industrial mining operations in Jiangxi, China.
The chemical "acid digestion" and powder metallurgy required to shape it.
Why Thomas Edison and modern military engineers both rely on this heavy stone.
The shocking paradox: How the strongest metal can shatter like a mirror.

From light bulb filaments to kinetic tank penetrators, discover the incredible journey of the metal that refuses to surrender.
