¶ 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"
