Balloon (a)

RBF Definitions

(a)

"People think spontaneously of a balloon as a continuous skin,

or a solidly impervious, unitary, and spherically closed

membrane holding the gas. They say that because the gas can't

get out and because it is under pressure, the pressure makes

the balloon spheroidal. This means the gas is pushing the skin

outwardly in all directions.

"But if we look at this skin with a microscope we find that it

is not a continuous film at all. It is full of holes.

Instead it is in fact a net. If we look at the net

atomically we will see that the tensional net's threads are

discontinuous, being in reality "Milky-Way-like" constellations,

great energy aggregates cohering only 'gravitationally' to act

as the 'webbing' of the pneumatic ball's net.

"In a gas balloon we do not have a continuous membrane of film.

There is no such thing as a continuous 'solid' skin or 'solid'

anything in Universe. But we do have a network pattern, a

network of energy actions that is interspersed with vast

spaces or lack of energy events. But the spaces between the

energy action net are smaller than are the internally

captivated and mutually interrepelled gas molecules, wherefore"
