Why Crumpling Paper Isn't Random

Did you know crumpling a piece of paper is not a random process? Explore the mathematics behind crumpling paper with Alex Dainis in the latest Everyday Awesome. An experiment conducted by Harvard scientists unveiled logarithmically lengthening creases, showcasing a detectable pattern in the crumpling process. Learn how this information contributes to the development of more durable wearable electronics and enhances our understanding of tectonic plate shifts. Try the experiment at home by crumpling and coloring in creases on a piece of paper, and share your unique patterns with us.
