#4. Of Space and Distance

True enough, It’s all about space and distance.


Pad paper becomes primary or intermediate through the spacing of the lines. 

Radio stations cannot air on frequencies that are too closely spaced, otherwise they’d be fighting for the same air waves, and broadcasting will simply become inaudible.

The space between earth and its moon is just as perfect. Had the moon been closer to the earth, there would be high tide all year round. Had it been a little farther, the lands will literally crack open. (or vice versa, I'm not so sure.) The same goes with the magic of life on earth. Venus is just too hot while Mars is just too cold. 

A two-bladed electric fan produces more air than a three-bladed one because air has more space to pass through and circulate. Either 2 or three-bladed, put it too close to a wall and it will not be able to produce air at all.

Even words need space to be understood clearly.

Indeed, it’s all about space and distance. It all boils down to proper spacing. Some work better a little condensed, others function when a little sparsely apart. While others would be more efficient densely away from each other, some others would be more useful if they’re a little compacted and compressed.

Most of the time, the space and the blank distance between two or more entities, or the mere absence of one of them, are the defining factors of their existence. The most perplexing thing about space is that it’s totally useless unless there are things that need to be spaced apart. In theory though, everything needs to be spaced. But have we actually seen a blank space existing without anything that needs to be spaced apart? 

That is probably the concept of infinity or a void continuum. A vast empty space of nothingness.
