Spider silk has very amazing characteristics.


A single strand of spider silk about a quarter inch in diameter could tow an aircraft carrier (Lance). Aircraft carriers are immense boats that weigh tons, and yet a single strand of spider silk would be able to pull it without breaking.

That same strand of spider silk can stop a jet in flight (Lance). A jet might have enough power to overcome gravity and achieve amazing speeds, but it could not break a strand of spider silk a quarter of an inch thick. The momentum that a jet can create with its weight and speed is quite extensive, but even all that energy cannot break spider silk.

If this can be done with a quarter inch thick spider thread, imagine what could be done with a spider silk thread a few inches thick. It would be virtually indestructible.
