Nature abhors a vacuum...
:msp_sneaky:

The vast majority of the universe is a greater vacuum than anything man can produce. Except, of course, all that dark matter stuff that we can't measure.

"In 350 BC, Greek philosopher Aristotle suggested that nature abhors a vacuum, a principle that became known as the horror vacui. This concept built upon a 5th century BCE ontological argument by the Greek philosopher Parmenides, who denied the possible existence of a void in space. Based on this idea that a vacuum could not exist, in the West it was widely held for many centuries that space could not be empty. As late as the 17th century, the French philosopher René Descartes argued that the entirety of space must be filled."

"... even the deep vacuum of intergalactic space is not devoid of matter, as it contains a few hydrogen atoms per cubic meter. By comparison, the air we breathe contains about 10(followed by 25 zeros) molecules per cubic meter."


So...I think the quote is good, and nature does abhor a vacuum...at least on Earth, and within our atmosphere. It does a good job of squooshing RR tank cars, doesn't it?

That's why it says "nature"... It's all they knew at that time... "Space" was a foreign concept...:msp_biggrin:

Jasper Free Saw

Got around to fooling with the little Poulan (Craftsman) top handle saw that I got as a raffle prize at the GTG. I pulled it over a few times after I got home and it didn't "pop" but tonight I put a new plug in it and it fired right off. Took me by surprise. So who ever donated it----Thank you! I'm kind of partial to Poulan no matter what color they're painted.

Check the fuel lines first Me thinks if it were seals it would run erraticly in any postition.

Evening gents,Matt I needed your 9010 with that 42" bar today. Dropped a big ugly slick barked locust today,the 800 with the 37" wouldn't reach through it. It was girdled several years ago and I was worried it might be hollow. My buddy took some pictures of it before I dropped it,but I told him no pictures of the stump. It did fall where I said it would.
