I find the weight of air/Almost too great to bear.
Living submerged at the bottom of an ocean of air.
No one can realize how substantial the air is, until he feels its supporting power beneath him. It inspires confidence at once.
Air is traditionally 'thin,' but the more we learn about our atmosphere, the more substantial it becomes. In some places it is so filled with inorganic flotsam that it is almost thick enough to plough; in others, it has become so primed with the by-products of life that it comes close to being a living tissue in its own right.
Watson, ... if I can get a mechanism which will make a current of electricity vary in its intensity, as the air varies in density when a sound is passing through it, I can telegraph any sound, even the sound of speech.
Know how weather, especially humidity, can affect the movement of doors and windows.
