Real question:

If the MDF was reduced to a few thousands, would it bend like the wood
veneer would or
would it snap?


Last night I was watching an episode of Street Science (series on
Science Channel). They had slow motion of a wine glass flexing under
high frequency. Things we think of as solid can flex.

I would think it would have some flex, but not as much as wood veneer
and then snap.



So how much was the wine glass flexing?


Looked like about 1/4". Never saw or imagined that could happen. They
used a high speed camera to show it.

Other things that looked nifty was a bubble filled with smoke bursting.
Looks like a wrapper coming off it.
