January 3 (Nadapedia entry on the subject of "Wind")

"Wind does NOT blow. It sucks" Buckminster Fuller said.

Our parents and teachers have told us wrong. In children's books we draw pictures of clouds with wind coming from their mouths, we might say that it is 'blowing a gale'. As a consequence we think about wind in unrealistic and inappropriate ways. Wind is NOT pushed. NOTHING is doing the pushing. Wind is caused by VACUUM. Wind is a large mass of air being drawn to a place of low pressure. A distant low pressure area pulls denser air to itself. So for instance a northwest wind is actually a southeast suck.
