Engineering brilliance in its purest form! This DIY demonstration perfectly captures why arches have been architectural superstars for thousands of years. The flat paper can't support the red cup without collapsing, but fold that same paper into an arch? BOOM! Instant strength! It's the same principle that lets Roman aqueducts and bridges stand after 2000+ years. The arch distributes weight outward instead of straight down, turning compression into your structural best friend. Next time someone asks why ancient buildings are still standing while your IKEA shelf collapsed after two weeks, just show them this!
