I accidentally dipped a corner of my towel into the bathtub, and that corner of my towel got wet right away. How did that happen? Why does water work so fast? How come something that touches water gets wet right away? It seems almost instantaneous, but if it were a bit slower, I would've had time to get that part of the towel out. It was in there like almost no time at all, a split second, but the towel still got wet.

Yep I know exactly what you mean.

Water is so fascinating. It's relentless. Necessary for life, but capable of so much destruction, from a small leak to a raging flood. Incredible.

That's what I mean. How is it doing all that stuff as quickly as it does? Like there was no time at all, and my towel get wet.

One thing I find incredible is the amount of water I drink just to feel normal. I have to drink 4 pints, or half a gallon, immediately upon waking before I can even drink any coffee.

Mostly pseudo-random.
Its like electricity. Water tries to find the shortest path to other water molecules. All water wants to get inside of you.

I can't pee just a little though, it's really all or nothing for me in that situation. Just like life, if I commit to something I give it my all. That's why I've accomplished so much. You can buy my new book, Philosopee of Champions now on Amazon.
