Wally Wallington is a retired carpenter who over ten years ago came up with a system to move heavy objects without using any type of machinery, only his whit. In fact, it uses the strength of only one man.
 
By heavy object I don’t mean a big pile of bricks or some steel beems. No. Wallington is capable of moving things as amazing as a one ton concrete block or a neighbour’s entire barn (watch video).
 
The system basically consists of applying torque from different angles using, amazingly enough, only pieces of wood and gravity.
 
Wallington assures that systems like these must have been used in historical constructions such as Stonehenge, and to prove it he’s been dedicated lately to building a replica in his own yard.
 
If this isn’t proof that whit is the most powerful tool there is, I don’t know what is.
 
Yet another reason to be inlove with physics.
