Hey dad how do they determine the weight limit of bridges?

They drive bigger and bigger trucks over the bridge until it breaks.

Then they weigh the last truck and rebuild it

that is what they are doing - guessing

I mean, what else are we doing?

Science is just structured failing forward with a protocol.

Guess and check and guess and check and check the guessing by guessing a new way and checking out what happens.
