While reducing the diameter of pipe in its outlet does pressure increase or velocity?

Hey,
This post is for everyone.From childhood we have grown up seeing our parents giving water to plants using pipes.We all have tried our hands also in that.Now we have always heard that by reducing the pipe diameter by using our fingers blocking the outlet we can increase water pressure and water will go further distance.No doubt water will travel longer distance but in this case pressure is not increasing but velocity is.Dont get confused by the formula of pressure (F=M/A) as it is applicable for solids only.In case of liquids it will follow Bernoulli's  equation stating if area is decreased kinetic energy or velocity gradient will increase and pressure gradient will decrease.So now it should be clear to all.
Thanks....

Sci-fi WH

Hey all,  Consider two points A and B separated at a distance of say 5 cm in a piece of paper. If you were to reach point B from A you need to cover 5cm distance. But what if you wrap the paper in such a way that point A and B intersect. Then it becomes a shortcut right. This is exactly the concept behind worm holes. Due to the fabric nature of space-time this can be assumed that we can enter from past to future and vice versa through these holes known as worm holes created due to rupture in space time fabric due to movement of celestial bodies including planets. Time is a man made straight dimension but in our universe time is not moving forward rather everything is happening at the moment. It is like a 3hrs Bollywood movie being watched in a DVD where the time period for movie or event is fixed and we can go backwards and forward. Similarly events occuring in universe are fixed and we can rewind or move ahead using worm holes.  This concept is hypothetical based on journals ...
