Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamental nature of liquids and their ability to form unexpected shapes. Tracing the historical development of scientific understanding of liquids, the author delves into the work of pioneers like Pythagoras, Euclid, and Leibnitz, revealing the evolution of thought on the subject. The book then focuses on the groundbreaking work of Plateau of Ghent, who unveiled the true cause of liquid form, highlighting how gravity can be counteracted to observe the inherent shapes of liquids. Using vivid examples, the author introduces the principle of least surface area as the driving force behind liquid formations, and argues that the beauty of these forms is a consequence of this fundamental principle. Drawing parallels to the intricate structure of the human ear and the workings of music, the author illuminates the profound connection between the simple principle of least surface area and the complexity of the natural world. This book offers a captivating exploration of a seemingly simple yet endlessly fascinating subject, demonstrating the power of scientific inquiry to unveil the underlying beauty of natural phenomena. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330073971_0
