Hi Michel, Thank you for your advice, but save your ignorance for someone else. "Black hole" is a "physics term," too, but it is the wrong term for discussing the Sun's output. Do a Google search for -"solar irradiance" "earth radiance"- to see how real physicists use the terms. Dave > -Or

Re: [Vo]: Voltage versus field, and the electrophorus

Nice! It's pretty obvious why voltage increases when you think of it as variable gap capacitor with a constant charge, q=C*V, if you lower C by increasing the gap then V necessarily increases. > Does gluing a needle to the small pan make it possible to pull a longer > spark? The answer is yes

Outside of the US it's hilarious to see how even weather, which used to be the most consensual of topics, has become a political issue there, subject to the same lack of logic and openness as traditional political arguments. What you're missing is that if solar output variations contribute sign
