Why do people get shorter when they’re older?
In: Biology
Dont think of spines as long tubes, think of them like a disc shaped rocks with doughnuts in-between them. Over time, the doughnuts get more and more squished, and the overall height of the stack gets smaller. You have doughnuts(cartilage) between your rocks (bones) as well, and although it takes a really long time eventually they get all squished too.
