What If We Built a Gigantic Trampoline City?

Imagine a city where every surface is designed to bounce. In this video, we explore the structural engineering and physics that would be required to create a fully functional trampoline city. From the materials needed to support immense weight and traffic to the fundamental physics of elasticity and motion, we delve into how such a city could be constructed. The design would need to account for the forces at play as people and objects interact with the bouncy surfaces, ensuring the city remains safe and practical for everyday use.

However, this concept raises a number of safety concerns that must be addressed before such a city could become a reality. How would infrastructure like roads, buildings, and public spaces work in a constantly bouncing environment? What precautions would be needed to prevent injuries or chaos? We discuss potential ...
