This kinetic sculpture has caught the attention of many people on the internet, because it seems impossible to stand without falling. But actually, the secret lies in the basic principle of physics, namely the principle of levers. For example, if the bottom stone weighs 100 kilograms, then the total weight of all the stones and the frame above it must be lighter than that to maintain balance. Each level in the structure follows a similar rule. Coupled with the influence of gravity pulling down, this sculpture can stand upright and stable even though its appearance looks unreasonable.
