"you find it getting hotter. What makes the net take the shape that it does is simply the molecules that happen to hit it. The molecules that are not hitting it have nothing to do with its shape. There is potential that other molecules might hit the network, but that is not what we are talking about. The shape it has is by virtue of the ones that happen to hit it.
“One of the things I saw, of course, was that when we are crowding them in that one pattern, it was using the other pattern as action, reaction, and resultant. Therefore we can see that when one is going out to hit it; it is pushing another one inwardly, or some other direction. But we discover mathematically that it would be impossible to get all of them to go to an absolute common center because that would require a lot more pressure. It would have to be a smaller space so the patterns are not all from center outwardly against the bag. Each one of the patterns are ricocheting around the bag, and so one hits the bag, like this, and then the reaction causes another one to hit the bag on the other side. Then we have some that are inside there, in movement and hitting and changing the angles of”
