The Fairy Land Of Science Lecture 3

      In this lecture the author compared humans and the earth we live on to fish in the sea. If we were to be taken up to space we would gasp and die as a fish out of water would do. Referred to as the aerial ocean in which we live, the earth and it's atmosphere are also described. The book also depicts some interesting experiments such as the following: Take a piece of paper or a card, fill a cup with water and put the card on top, then firmly hold the card on top and turn the cup over, then gently remove your hand from the card. The card will not fall as you would expect but, it will stay in the air with the cup and water.
