John Burroughs

The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense is his life, large-brained, large-lunged, hot, ecstatic, his frame charged with buoyancy and his heart with song.

For me, when I 'discover' a story, there is a feeling of buoyancy and clarity, perhaps similar to early morning out on a prairie highway, when darkness lifts and reveals the outline of farmhouses and copses of trees in the distance.

I've always been a bit of a space geek. I wrote an article years ago about the neutral buoyancy tank, which is this biblically sized pool where they train astronauts. And it was just the coolest thing.

The only rule of a musical is that it must maintain its buoyancy.

Understand 'buoyancy' is often used in discussing objects in water or air.

Physical Context

'Buoyancy' doesn't just mean floating; it refers to the upward force too.

Not Just Floating

Used metaphorically, 'buoyancy' describes a person's uplifting mood or outlook.

Metaphorical Use

Think of 'buoyancy' as the emotional 'lightness' that counters life's 'weights'.

Emotional State

In science, 'buoyancy' relates to laws governing liquids and gases physics.

Scientific Principle

'Neutral buoyancy' occurs when an object's weight equals the buoyancy force.

Neutral Buoyancy

'Buoyancy' in economics implies a market's ability to bounce back.

Economic Resilience

High market 'buoyancy' can indicate investor confidence in recovery.

 can we help solve that problem well we can invent a suit within a suit because I can't get rid of gravity here so I go in there water and train at the NASA neutral buoyancy laboratory but guess what I sink right to the bottom of the suit so I'm practicing and practicing because I have to get it perfect for spaceflight but my shoulders and my

 And at noon each day the campers would go to a pond, where they had floating docks. You could jump off the end into the deep end. I was born premature. I was always very small. My left lung had collapsed when I was born. And I've always had buoyancy problems. So water was something that scared me to begin with.

 the bones are dense and heavy and this is something we see in animals like manatees for example animals that spend a lot of time in the water it turns out the dense bone is important in buoyancy control but not all scientists were ready to accept the idea that spinosaurus unlike any other dinosaur lived like a

 that tail turns out looks a lot like what you see in a nude for example in some rocks so you just have this weird kind of frankenstein creature in some ways right um the bone density of spinosaurus is another one very dense bone which is important for buoyancy that's something we see in many

 It stands on floating pontoons which are tethered to the seabed and held down -- so, pulled down against those buoyancy forces, and in order to make it stable, the tops of the towers have to be tied together, otherwise the whole thing would just wobble around

 To remain stable, a kayaker keeps the center of mass directly over the kayak center of buoyancy, which is in the middle of its submerged volume. Traveling out to sea, it helps to keep the kayak perpendicular to the waves, because turning sideways

 water in its hold, and lifeboats missing. The discovery of its intact cargo and a captain's log that ended abruptly led to wild rumors and speculation. But the real culprits were two scientific buoyancy and fluid dynamics.

 It's also worth noting that a kayak's stability is dependent on keeping the center of mass in line with the center of buoyancy, which is in the middle of a submerged volume. Otherwise.
