How does Dr. Michio Kaku explain the feat of bending an iron rod around a person's neck?
Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku explains that while it's possible to build up neck muscles, a human couldn't withstand the force of an iron rod bent around their neck due to muscle cross-sectional area. The trick of bending a rod relies on pre-weakening it with heat, chemicals, or stress, making it easier to bend. Kaku notes that the neck's vulnerability and the need for a skilled assistant to apply pressure correctly make it more of a magic trick than a true feat of strength.

"Neck Muscle Strength and Arctic Discoveries"
- Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku suggests it's possible to build up neck muscles but a human couldn't withstand the force of an iron rod bent around their neck due to muscle cross-sectional area.
- Kaku notes the neck is vulnerable due to lack of protection, and the trick of bending a rod relies on pre-weakening it with heat, chemicals, or stress, making it easier to bend.
- The trick also requires a skilled assistant to apply pressure correctly to avoid damaging vocal chords, making it more of a magic trick than a true feat of strength.
- In a small Russian village, a farmer discovers remains of a strange creature, possibly due to permafrost melting, leading to speculation of extinct creatures reappearing.
- Video analysts suggest the creature is likely a mummified animal, possibly a large fruit bat, but without the specimen, its exact identity remains unknown, hinting at the possibility of an unidentified extinct animal due to Arctic warming.
