About This Lesson

Here’s a question of burning scientific importance. How high can you stack pennies before they fall over? The answer? It depends. In a perfect universe, with perfectly flat pennies that align exactly on top of each other, the stack could go as high as you wish. In the real universe, however, you’ll be lucky if you can get them above about one foot.
