I love it that there are people who study crumpled paper and its properties. Crumpling a sheet of paper seems simple enough and certainly doesn't require much effort, but explaining why the resulting crinkled ball behaves the way it does is another matter entirely. Once scrunched, a paper ball is more than 75 percent air yet displays surprising strength and resists further compression, a fact that has confounded physicists.  (via SciTech Daily Review) 7:57:32 PM     The Religious Experience of Philip K.
