It does not help that the technical terms are often avoided, and one is left guessing what was meant.

Everything I know about physics comes from reading on my own. So I tend to be weak at the basics at times, but somewhat knowledgeable about many aspects of the state of the art. I love to read about physics research and history. xponent Reaching Beyond My Grasp Maru rob ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
