Researchers have found a universal law that predicts how objects shatter, from glass bottles to liquid drops.

Game physics about to level up!
Soon nobody will be broke anymore
LLM-written article.
Intriguing topic, though.Read the article, but my question was not answered:
Is spaghetti amongst these ‘most objects’?
Or will spaghetti breaking remain a mystery?

So it’s spaghetti all the way down?

Idk, I think it does. Spaghetti isn’t a length, it’s a width and shape, by my understanding anyway…I’m no Pasta-ologist and am almost certainly wrong.

Don’t use tiktok so I’ll just assume that this is someone snapping spaghetti in half and then Italy rioting.

More detail link spaguetti is a 1D rod I guess.
Why do you think it is a mystery?
Apparently my information was outdated. But for decades scientists were unable to explain why spaghetti usually breaks into more parts than two, when bended.
Here, have something to read: link to news.mit.edu article
If it’s only most objects is it really a law? I’m just a dumb guy, but that seems contradictory. My understanding is that gravity is a “Law” because it interacts, in one way or another, with EVERYTHING
In physics, law mostly just means a clear formula which always applies when you’re within some specific parameters (Newton’s laws when below relativistic speeds)
There are no laws in science. Some call things law for whatever reasons, but they are not. We have theories, the highest thing there is, which explain everything we can observe usually to a level of accuracy that is extremely good.
