![]() And if it lands in a person with a weak immune system, it might start a new colony, growing slowly until new bacteria are ready to be coughed out all over again.

Helen Czerski, Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life 11 likes Like This process of discovery is science: the continual refinement and testing of our understanding, alongside the digging that reveals even more to be understood. Like the miniaturized fat droplets in today’s homogenized milk, it’s just a passenger. Read 480 reviews from the worlds largest community for readers. Wherever the air goes, the bacterium goes. ![]() The gravitational pull on this new parcel is no match for the buffeting of the air. If it was originally a droplet of spit with a tuberculosis bacterium floating about in it, it’s now a tuberculosis bacterium neatly packaged up in some leftover organic crud. What was a droplet big enough for gravity to pull it through the viscous air now becomes a mere speck, a shadow of its former self. Each chapter begins with something small popcorn, coffee stains and refrigerator magnets and uses it to explain some of the most important science and technology of our time. ![]() Most of that droplet is water, and in the first few seconds in the outside air, that water evaporates. In Storm in a Teacup, Helen Czerski links the little things we see every day with the big world we live in. Just as the cream rises slowly through viscous milk to the top of the bottle, these droplets are on course to slide through the viscous air to reach the floor. As the droplets drift downwards, they are bumped and jostled by air molecules that slow their descent. Air is too – it has to be pushed out of the way as things move through it. ![]() But it doesn’t happen quickly, because it’s not just liquids that are viscous. These droplets are being pulled downwards by gravity and once they hit the floor, at least they’re not going anywhere else. The fluid droplets themselves start off fairly big, perhaps a few tenths of a millimetre. Some of them will contain the tiny rod-shaped TB bacteria, each only three-thousandths of a millimetre long.

Carried out of the lungs with each cough are thousands of fluid droplets, plumes of minuscule crusaders.
