Reading Treatise on the Equilibrium of Liquids | Alexandria
Read Treatise on the Equilibrium of Liquids by Blaise Pascal. Revolutionizing our view of pressure, Pascal's fluid dynamics icon revealed a profound truth: force distributes equally in all directions, shattering the intuitive notion that weight only flows downward. This seemingly simple discovery exposed nature's hidden symmetry and laid groundwork for everything from hydraulics to modern physics.
