suppose you wanted to build a floor on both side of an intervening wall. if you could run a garden hose around the wall, suspend both ends in the upright position,and fill it with water you could fix a level point on both sides of the wall. Contractors use this principal from time to time if they have to work on a building in a place where the terrain is rough and obstructed. Also in large fluid tanks they put piping on the outside and use a piece of plastic
pipe upright so they can know the level of the fluid inside.
Also in locks of a canal, the ships are raised and lowered without the need for pumps. they just closed both sides and let the water seel the level of the side they want to go to.

I leveled my camp once by running clear plastic tube filled with water and food coloring from support location the a fixed point. The tube was placed as a very wide U (a U-tube) and I could measure the difference in height between the floor and water levels in the tube to jack up and shim low areas. A similar tube can be used to be sure that water pipes in a building have the correct gradient to permit complete draining and avoid rupture from freezing water in a vacant building during the winter. Boiler gage glasses connected to the spaces above and below the water level in a boiler can permit reading the water level outside the boiler. Roads are provided with a slightly curved crown so that rain will drain off (seeking the lowest level). Wet cement or concrete will seek a smooth level due to the water content.

i think of that's a sturdy thank you to undertaking the way evolutionists think of approximately biology. keeps them on their feet. do no longer enable a blanket blind faith in evolution without the different communities troublesome you. No monopoly on the place life got here from. think of of capitalism and you have 2 communities that make comparable varieties of things competing with one yet another. Competetion is sturdy for the buyer with extra fee-effective expenses and extra high quality. in addition with evolutions and creationists at odds with one yet another that is going to shop them the two sharp, careful of their statements and analyze, and coherent.
