Which is more valid, or superior - volume or weight? Weight is superior to volume, but a further refinement accrues from using mass instead of weight. Weight depends upon altitude, where the moon is, latitude, which planet you're on, nearby underground deposits of gold ore, etc. Always?

While the weight or mass will always be the same, the volume will change depending on temperature. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Seems that weight would be more precise. Volume would vary with temperature, atmospheric pressure, properties of the container, etc. -Original Message- From: A.J. Padilla, M.D. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 24, 2005 5:56 PM To: Chad McAnally; lute Subject: A pint's
