Today, as I was cleaning up water I spilled on the floor with <insert shameless brand plug here>, I was wishing that surface tension didn’t exist.
Without surface tension, standing water would evaporate quickly. Why? Well, what causes water to lay in its own pool on a flat surface? Surface tension. If surface tension didn’t exist, water would keep expanding its own pool, to the point where the water would immediately evaporate because the water is so widely dispersed.
That would be nice and all, but what if you spilled, say, apple juice? What a mess.
But goodness, would that look cool.
But...you know, maybe surface tension isn’t so bad after all.
