Re: Ascent of Sap
As far as I can understand it there is a pressure difference in the tube. Energy flows from a position of high potential to a lower one. Pressure is the same way. The sap is forced up the tube because the pressure is greater at the base.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Ascent of Sap
May I ask you a personal question?
'And fun? If maths is fun, then getting a tooth extraction is fun. A viral infection is fun. Rabies shots are fun.'
'God exists because Mathematics is consistent, and the devil exists because we cannot prove it'
I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

Re: Ascent of Sap
Are you really satisfied with the generally accepted theory behind the Ascent of Sap?

Re: Ascent of Sap
I do not find any bit of modern science convincing. That is why I do math and only computational math.
