I doesn't have enough, so when it falls it doesn't enough strength to make it break.

Answer:Because of its shape. The cube is strong but remove 2 sides and any force will knock it down. Same as a rectangle. But a circle has a perfect arch. The Romans found out that an arch will hold up more weight than any other shape. An arch is only a small portion of a circle and can withstand more weight or impact than any other shape. Water dams are shaped in an arch because the more pressure exerted upon it, the stronger it is. Its also why the forehead is arched. Its the hardest bone to break.

Why do you think a light bulb feels warm?

A light bulb is designed to take electrical energy and radiate it as electromagnetic energy.It would be nice of all of that energy came out in the form of light, but that has never been accomplished yet. An incandescent light bulb ... the original kind ... radiates much more heatenergy than light energy. In other words, an incandescent light bulb works much more efficientlyas a heater than it does as a source of light.

Are we talking about long fluorescent "tubes"?The socket may be bad, or the tube is not seated correctly in it's socket.Some fixtures use a socket that the tubes "twist" into.Twist the tube slightly in either direction until it seems "seated".
