It can look dumb, but I always had this question as a kid, what physical principles would prevent this?

    I’m not a scientist, but when I asked the same question before they said, “compression.”

    Like, the stick would absorb the power of your push, and it would shrink (across its length) before the other end moved. When the other end does finally move, it’s actually the compression reaching it.
