Good work John.

My second favorite physicist, Dr. Feinmann, was fond of trusting the data. His words at a lecture long ago went something like...Regardless of the qualifications of the hypothesis, one well executed experiment is worth a thousand well educated guesses. ( not at the Challenger probe but long before).

Or something like that.

Sheet, mon, just measure it. Then you'll have a first order measurement of what it is. Several measurements with different instruments under a small variance of conditions will affirm the first measurement.

Lord Kelvin said something like that.

Unca Joel, you knew Kelvin, what exactly did he say?

I seem to remember something about "unless you can express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and insufficient kind".

Anyone got a 094 bellhousing you can give to Brian at SmallCar? (vanagon content)

cheers,

pensioner
