The mind-boggling paradox of carbon fiber! It weighs a fraction of steel yet somehow manages to be stronger in one direction—like that overachieving friend who's amazing at exactly ONE thing. This is due to carbon fiber's anisotropic properties (fancy word for "picky about directions"). The long carbon strands are aligned in specific patterns, creating incredible strength along the fiber orientation but less impressive strength perpendicular to it. Meanwhile, steel just sits there being consistently strong in all directions like it's not even trying to be special. Materials science is wild!
