In this video I show you a special kind of rock called itacolumite that actually bends as a solid rock. Then I show you how to bend regular stone and I teach you about why things bend so much easier when they are thin and how do things fails when they bend.

Bend a rock? Sounds like a bit of a “stretch”...

Bending rocks is still easier than bending Dwayne Johnson.

You could get The Slow Mo Guys to film the rock to see if it bends and when it breaks
This is a
This video made me think of a trick I learned long ago: Bending a single stiff and brittle crystal without breaking it. Even though it sounds and looks awesome, and is so easy to do, I cannot find any mention of it on CZcams or Google. So maybe it would be a good one for you to do.
It's not just thickness, its thickness to length ratio. For example, tectonic plates have about the same thickness to length ratio as that sandstone slice you just bent, so it stays elastic. That's why earthquakes happen, because plates keep skipping as they slide thorough each other. Note that this is unlike what you last described since that was plastic deformation, which forms ridges and mountains and what creates earthquakes is elastic deformation like what you did with the sandstone.
Air bending is old school. Now it is all about rock bending.
Who dares to dislike this guy?? He’s taught me more than my science teacher.
I thought you were gonna put Dwayne Johnson in a figure 4 leglock😔

honestly you’re my favorite educational channel
Enjoying the hangdrum melody you used here!
