HA!

Archimedes and my physics profs (from the 70s) would heartily disagree.

The notion that water seeks its own level is related to Archimedes' Principle. This, from an ai search...

Water Seeks Its Own Level The phrase "water seeks its own level" refers to the principle that water in connected containers will rise or fall until it reaches the same height in each container. This is a fundamental concept in hydrostatics.

Important Points

Hydrostatic Pressure: The pressure in a fluid depends only on the depth, not the shape or width of the container. Equal Levels: When two bodies of water are connected, they will equalize their levels due to gravity.

Practical Applications: This principle is used in various engineering applications, such as designing drainage systems and canals.

Relationship Between the Two Principles

Both Archimedes' principle and the concept of water seeking its own level are based on the behavior of fluids under the influence of gravity. They illustrate how fluids respond to forces and how objects interact with them, providing a foundation for understanding buoyancy and fluid dynamics.

Was on a call at work and this came up. Someone asked was the sea rising. I replied maybe it's the land subsiding.

Most on the call were infected heavily with the climate change virus.

I work in the insurance world.

Talk about rocking the boat.

Gravity is not uniform around the Earth. Also, there are tides.

I have a leftist sister in Kalifornia that will strongly disagree with you. She told me the water rises at different levels in California beaches due to glowbull warming. Of interest, her and her daughter do not recognize Trump as their President. I can’t stomach talking to those potheads.

#7 Gravity is over rated....
