- Comment on marble balls floating on water are nice sculptures. why doesn't the water squirt out like when you pinch a garden hose ? 1 week ago:
To oversimplify the answer, if you put a strong enough ‘garden hose’ beneath the floating sphere, you would still get that ‘spraying effect’ like you do with a garden hose. However, the sphere would no longer ‘float’ in place in thst case.
Keep in mind that the floating sphere ‘uses the energy of the spray to stay aloft’, balanced against the weight of the sphere. As a result, there is not enough energy left to make the water spray outward like the garden hose does.
There are many different factors at work to keep the sphere afloat, such as the curved base below it, matching the sphere’s curvature. Again this is an oversimplified explanation, to help explaon the basic concept.

… I just had to verify my age …
No you did not. You chose to do so.
I have not used WhatsApp in 10+ years, Windows in 4+ years, Google services in 2+ years.
It is a choice, stop lying to yourself about having to accept things.

The taste of tomatoes/ketchup is great.
The texture of tomatoes is horryfing and makes me shiver and gag.
They are not the same.
