It falls on the Chinese prisoner, slowly followed by another, then another. Reportedly it is maddening.
Nagel’s lecture titled “The Life and Death of a Drop”
Spoiler alert: It drops dead.
The first experiment I chose to do from a 4th grade classroom science kit was called "How Droplets Form".
I remember the inanity of watching droplets form on the inside top of a closed petri dish, but not the scientific principle.
Water is sine qua non for life.
Wisconsin is water water everywhere. Ergo Wisconsin is full of life.
The rest of us States demand re-distribution...a pipeline will do.
Water droplets dripping sensuously on a supermodel's pert naked breasts are the luckiest water drops.
Water droplets from the shower head of a prison are sad, sad water drops.
Nagel is an egoist, but incredibly smart. You should go, if for no other reason than to appreciate how transparent and intricate the world is to people blessed with his kind of neural circuitry.
Hey, LOOK! I'm a vapor. Wow, now I'm changing into a solid. I'm falling a bit. Not too much (it's Lubbock, Texas). Now I'm a vapor again. YAY!
