Śūnyatā ( Emptiness)

How does surface tension affect the surface properties of a liquid? Looking at surface tension from a macro perspective
Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible
Forms and Feelings with a drop of water shot in Macro fallen on a leaf ( Emptiness)
Surface tension has the dimension of force per unit length, or of energy per unit area
The two are equivalent
When referring to energy per unit of area, it is common to use the term surface energy, which is a more general term in the sense that it applies also to solids
All things are empty of intrinsic existence and nature 
 In what respect is it said that the world is empty?
The Buddha replied, "Insofar as it is empty of a self or of anything pertaining to a self: Thus it is said, that the world is empty.
Surface tension is responsible for the shape of liquid droplets
Although easily deformed, droplets of water tend to be pulled into a spherical shape by the imbalance in cohesive forces of the surface layer
Emptiness as a mental state, in the early canons, means a mode of perception in which one neither adds anything  to nor takes anything away from what is present, noting simply, "There is this."
What is the Great Emptiness?
When this exists, that exists; when this arises, that arises
Emptiness is a mode of perception, a way of looking at experience 
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form

Emptiness is not separate from form, form is not separate from emptiness

When this exists, that exists; when this arises, that arises
Whatever is form is emptiness, whatever is emptiness is form
We state that conditioned origination is emptiness
It is mere designation depending on something, and it is the middle path
Since nothing has arisen without depending on something, there is nothing that is not empty.
