'''Pressure''' (symbol: P) is the [[force]] per unit area applied in a direction [[perpendicular]] to the surface of an object. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_pressure Gauge pressure] is the pressure [[relative]] to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure.

==Definition==
==Definition==
Pressure is [[transmitted]] to solid boundaries or across [[arbitrary]] [[Fraction|sections]] of [[fluid]] [[normal]] to these boundaries or sections at every point. It is a fundamental [[parameter]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics thermodynamics] and it is conjugate to volume.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure]

==Quote==
The only [[technique]] for [[accelerating]] the [[natural]] trend of [[social]] [[evolution]] is that of applying ''spiritual pressure'' from above, thus augmenting [[moral]] [[insight]] while enhancing the [[soul]] capacity of every [[mortal]] to [[understand]] and [[love]] every other mortal. [[Mutual]] understanding and fraternal [[love]] are [[transcendent]] civilizers and mighty [[factors]] in the world-wide [[realization]] of the brotherhood of man.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=52:6_Urantia%27s_Post-Bestowal_Age (52:6.7)]
