Some examples are: 1  the Earth's atmosphere. 2  a falling object. 3  an hydraulic pump. 4  the wing of an airplane. 5  a glass of water. 6  a crystal or other solids. 7  the nucleus of an atom. 8  fundamental particles like quarks.
In a radical pendulum swing, away from the short-content fans, these content marketers rave over the long post. They insist that the most successful and high-converting blog posts should be in the multiple thousands of words. My about page has over 2,000 words.
My own blog posts tend to be around 1,200 words long and longer posts are better for search engine optimization if they stay relevant. I try to write detailed, useful posts in less than 1,000 words.
