Can engineering settle some of football's biggest arguments?
In this special episode of Live Design from SOLIDWORKS, we're putting three controversial football hot takes to the test using engineering, physics, materials science, and simulation.
Join us as we explore the science behind the beautiful game through three bold claims:
âš½ Spherical balls are the WORST kind of balls.
📡 Technology is RUINING football.
🧪 The true GOAT of football isn't a player at all... it's material science.
Using simulation, engineering analysis, and a healthy amount of debate, we'll examine how ball design, aerodynamics, materials, manufacturing, and modern technology have transformed the world's most popular sport.
Whether you're an engineer, designer, student, football fan, or simply curious how great products shape great experiences, you'll never watch the game the same way again.
