The Hidden Math Behind Why Rockets, Recipes, and Rivers Scale the Same Way

Описание: From cooking to rocket science, one rule of math quietly governs how the world scales: dimensional analysis. It’s the reason engineers can predict whether a bridge will collapse, chefs can double a recipe without ruining it, and scientists can test tiny wind-tunnel models instead of building full-sized planes. In this episode of Useful Math, we uncover how units, ratios, and exponents translate between worlds—why doubling size multiplies weight eight-fold, and why small creatures move fast while giants lumber slowly. Discover how this single idea connects physics, biology, and design. If you’ve ever wondered why skyscrapers need internal skeletons or why airplanes look like birds, the answer lies here—in the math of scaling reality itself. #UsefulMath #DimensionalAnalysis #ScalingLaws #MathInRealLife #Engineering #Design #Physics #STEM
