This principle states that, as a shape grows in size, its volume grows faster than its surface area. When applied to the real world, this principle has many implications which are important in fields ranging from mechanical engineering to biomechanics. It helps explain phenomena including why large mammals like elephants have a harder time cooling themselves than small ones like mice, and why building taller and taller skyscrapers is increasingly difficult.

X11 is the protocol implemented by X Windows System while Wayland is the protocol used by Wayland Compositor. In simple terms, X Windows System and Wayland determine how your program's display will appear depending on your actions. These actions include clicking on a checkbox, moving the windows, clicking a button, etc. The X Window System is a client/server network protocol that's been put into use for a while now. X.Org Server is the free and open source implementation of the display server for the X Window System stewarded by the X.Org Foundation. Wayland is a computer protocol that specifies the communication between a display server (called a Wayland compositor) and its clients.
