Explain the Purpose of Compaction: Consolidating Void Space

What happens here

The narrator clarifies that running a compactor over the stone does not make individual rocks more compact. Instead, the compactor's action turns and consolidates each individual stone, forcing them to settle into the void spaces previously demonstrated. This process eliminates the air pockets, creating a denser, more interlocked, and stable base. He illustrates this by pressing down on the pile of rocks with his hand, simulating the effect of a compactor, which makes the pile flatten and become more stable, just like the compacted stone seen at the beginning of the video.

Goal: Understand how compaction works to eliminate void spaces and create stability
