Tension evenly distributes forces across pulled fibers

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Pulling tightly on a string creates tension, an invisible force that rigidly runs down the entire length of the line. The pull you exert on one end instantly communicates itself to the other end. The string becomes a perfect physical conduit for your effort, translating your tug across space without losing its structural composure.
