windsurfer is propelled along by a sail which collects mechanical energy
from the winds that sweep along the water. This energy has been produced
by the sun which warms the earth's surface and sets the air above in motion.

obtain no volume unlike real gases which obtain small volumes. Also, since
ideal gas particles excerpt no attractive forces, their collisions are elastic.

also believe that their philosophy and conception on how the earth was
formed and how life began and supposedly continues to change, diversify,
