When walking along the Earth's surface, are you moving straight upwards?
No, when walking along the Earth's surface, you are not moving straight upwards. You are moving horizontally along the surface of the Earth. The force of gravity is pulling you towards the center of the Earth, keeping you grounded and preventing you from moving straight upwards.

Should an aquarium have a moving or calm, still water surface?
An aquarium should ideally have a calm, still water surface. A still water surface helps to create a more natural and peaceful environment for the aquatic life inside the tank. Additionally, a calm water surface allows for better oxygen exchange and prevents excessive agitation that can stress out the fish. However, some fish species, like bettas, prefer a gentle flow in the water, so it's important to consider the specific needs of the fish when deciding on the water surface movement in the aquarium.

When walking along the Earth's surface, are you moving straight up?
No, when walking along the Earth's surface, you are not moving straight up. You are moving horizontally across the surface of the Earth. The force of gravity keeps you grounded and prevents you from moving straight up. Movement in the vertical direction would require additional force or energy to overcome gravity.

What is the difference between surface and surface area?
Surface refers to the outermost layer or the top of an object, while surface area refers to the total area that the surface of an object covers. Surface area takes into account the length, width, and height of an object and calculates the total area of all its surfaces. In contrast, surface simply refers to the outermost layer of an object without considering its total area.

Surface Tension
Typography meets poetry at a Pink Floyd laser-light showIn Surface Tension, poetry is liquefied.Flowing away from meaning, letters and words gather and pool into puddles of poetry; street signs and logos reflected in the oily sheen of polluted gutters of rainwater.Like a funhouse mirror reflecting the language that surrounds us, the pages drip over the margins, suggesting that Madge was right, we are “soaking in it!”Surface Tension updates visual poetry for our post-pandemic age, asking us rethink the verbiage around us, to imagine letters as images instead of text, to find meaning in their beautiful shapes as Beaulieu stretches, torques, slides, blurs, and melts them into Dali-esque collages. "The striking compositions you’ll find in Surface Tension are being presented sequentially in book form, yet that they wouldn’t be out of place hanging on the wall goes without saying.Beaulieu swerves Gomringer when writing that 'Readibility is the key: like a logo, a poem should be instantly recognizable...' yet, to this reader, these works merit sustained and enthusiastic viewing precisely because they teeter on the edge of legibility.The kinetic, glitchy quality of their 'alphabetic strangeness' keeps them unrecognizable as poems and, here, 'that is poetry as I need it,' to quote Cage.Think of them as anti-advertisings selling you nothing but bountiful manifestations of the irreducible plasticity of numbers, punctuation marks, and letter forms.No logos." – Mónica de la Torre, Madelon Leventhal Rand Endowed Chair in Literature, Brooklyn College; co-editor of Women in Concrete Poetry 1959–1979"With his distinctive visual palindromes and angled axes of symmetry, Derek Beaulieu has developed a signature mastery of Letraset, leveraging the twentieth-century technology as a vehicle for bring concrete poetry into the twenty-first century.With Surface Tension, Beaulieu takes the possibilities of that new idiom even further, unsettling the fixity his symmetries once reinforced and dislodging the set in Letraset as poems distort in fun-house-mirror swerves, sag as if under their own weight, pool and smear in the liquid logic of heated ink, or swoop and blur as if in motion.In the process, these poems make visible the filmic potential of the photocopier, the facture of abraded transfers from brittling stock, and the three-dimensional substrate of the page with its flexible bends in curving space.These are thus poems in part about their own modes of production.They are beautiful products of a self-aware and intelligent process." – Craig Dworkin, author of Radium of the Word: A Poetics of Materiality"'When most of the language we consume is non-poetic, should poetry not attempt to poetically intervene within these spaces that are not traditionally poetic?' The answer to Derek Beaulieu’s question, put forward in his beautiful essay, is surely yes: the ten brilliantly adventurous visual poems in his Surface Tension make a startling case for his fascinating Letraset/photocopier inventions.Beaulieu’s compositions originate in a place of clean design and logical narrative; soon, as in a dream, they open up, ushering in what he calls 'a poetry of difference, chance, eruption.' Marcel Duchamp would have called it the poetry of the infrathin: watch 'Simple Symmetry' or 'Dendrochronology' open up and come alive in their minutely evolving new spaces.This is quite simply an enchanting book – a book producing new pleasures with each turn of the page." – Marjorie Perloff, Sadie Dernham Patek Professor of Humanities, Emerita, Stanford University

Which sleeping surface?
The best sleeping surface for you depends on your personal preferences and any specific health concerns you may have. Some people prefer a firm mattress for better back support, while others may find a softer mattress more comfortable. Memory foam mattresses can provide pressure relief and contour to your body, while adjustable beds can offer customizable support. Ultimately, the best sleeping surface is one that allows you to wake up feeling rested and free of any aches or pains.

Is the surface area the same as the surface area?
No, the surface area is not the same as the surface area. It seems like there might be a typo in the question. If you meant to ask if the surface area is the same as the volume, then the answer is no. Surface area refers to the total area of the outer surface of an object, while volume refers to the amount of space that an object occupies. They are two different measurements that describe different aspects of an object's size and shape.
-
What is the surface area and the lateral surface area?
Surface area is the total area of all the surfaces of a three-dimensional object, including the area of its faces, bases, and any curved surfaces. Lateral surface area, on the other hand, refers to the total area of the side surfaces of a three-dimensional object, excluding the area of its bases. In other words, the lateral surface area is the surface area of the sides of the object, while the surface area includes the lateral surface area as well as the area of the bases.

If one walks along the Earth's surface, are they moving straight upwards?
No, when one walks along the Earth's surface, they are not moving straight upwards. Instead, they are moving horizontally along the surface of the Earth. The force of gravity keeps us grounded and prevents us from moving straight upwards. Walking along the Earth's surface involves moving in a horizontal direction rather than a vertical one.
