Why Pisa tower is not straight give scientific reason?

Because when they built the tower after the third floor, they tried to correct the inclination to keep the center of weight well inside the basement. The result is that the tower is slightly banana-shaped. We can appreciate the different inclination in particular on the last floor. If the tower was straightened completely, the center of weight will cause the tower to fall on the opposite side.
