Force equals mass times acceleration, and the detonation of words by weight or volume comes as no surprise. But tipped toward velocity—the equation of the pearl-handled pen—words arrive at once, and their spin makes them all the more difficult to catch.
An audience brings atmospheric drag. Better to fire words into the vacuum than keep the safety forever on.
wouldn't all words be given equal weight in a vacuum , even the mediocre ones ?
ReplyDeleteI suppose they would, volume/weightwise. That's why it's better to adjust acceleration instead.
