The Eiffel Tower isn't just a pretty face—it's basically a 1,000-foot lightning rod with style! Gustave Eiffel was playing 4D chess while everyone else was playing checkers. The entire metal structure forms one giant conductor that channels lightning straight into the ground through dedicated grounding rods. The genius part? The tower's design creates a "Faraday cage" effect—electricity flows around the outside of the structure, leaving visitors inside completely safe. It's like having an invisible force field that says "not today" to 300,000 volts. Next time you're sipping champagne at the top during a thunderstorm, thank physics for keeping you from becoming a human light bulb!
