I know there's seven parts, let me see if I can remember most:
-Mass/energy
-Gravity
-Electromagnetism
-Strong nuclear force
-Weak nuclear force
I remember reading about this in Steven Hawkings' book. That was a
while ago and I don't recall all the details.

Well, this seems to be a more or less dead cf. Maybe it'll pick up when
people get out of the review and into the new stuff. How is it that both
of the items I have entered in my Grex career are duds?

Maybe it needs advertising? You could try an announcement now and then
in agora, to remind users that this service is available.

That would be kinda hard, as I have been converted by carson, and don't do
agora. Nothing philosophical or anything, I just don't have time.

You don't have to "do" agora, to advertise there. You don't have to
read anything.

I am wondering if anyone here knows of any books relating to the physics and
chemistry of CO2 exchange across aquatic plantDoes anyone know of a book about
plumbing that is written for nonplumbers but gives some information on fluid
dynamics.

Cool question!!! I bet it would be fascinating knowledge.

Plumbing is a matter of following the Code, and there are a lot of
self-help books on that (visit any hardware store). Fluid dynamics
is the mathematical description of fluid flow, and there are a lot
of books on that - *not* in hardware stores. There is certainly need
for an understanding of fluid dyamics to do the "plumbing" in new
technology - where a Code has not been developed - but less so in
established technology. So the question is, what level of fluid dynamic
information do you seek for what level of plumbing applications?

I am looking for a watered down version of the fluid dynamics. I knwo codes
differ from regions so I want a more general book to work my way back into it.
I am looking at replacing pipes they range from 6" pipe on down I need to also
take into account desired flow rates and pressures. Much of the work is
straight forward and I could do it without any problem. I want to have an idea
of how a plumber would do it though. I am looking at filtration systems along
with the plumbing. I work with swimming pools if thats any help. I do not
want to get heavily into fluid dynamics if I don't have to. That is why I want
a watered down version.

Drat! I just threw out a commerical booklist for the construction
industries, which is sent to me now and then. These are not the sort of
books (or booklist) usually kept in general libraries, unfortunately. A
handbook for Mechanical Engineers would have tables for a lot of this, but
not usually "branching networks" formulae. There are computer programs for
analyzing piping networks (but these are usually very expensive, unless
written for school use). I'm thinking, I'm thinking! 8). Maybe you can get
some ideas out of this, and meanwhile I'll look in some other sources.

Hmmm... Feb 10. Long time ago. I wonder if this will ever pick up? I
don't really have any questions, as I am between physics classes.

Is this the place to ask if anyone knows of documented serious scientific
studies going on with anti-gravity? Any suggestions of books to read?
I'm a novice on the subject, and not a physics student, but curious.

"Anti-gravity" is science fiction. Or, if you wish, pseudo-science. There
is a discussion of some aspects of the "anti gravity" fad, in _Fads and
Fallacies in the Name of Science_, by Martin Gardner (Dover, 1957). I
would not doubt that there are still current threads of it in the occult
literature.

Surprisingly enough, Rane, you are not that far off. I have not heard
anyone use the term "antigravity". Don't even really see much need for it,
but I have recently heard people talking about anti-energy of one sort or
another; a sort of metaphysical reversal and nullification. Odd.

Kami, I am never very "far off" - except when I am far out ;->.
Hmmm... (energy) "reversal and nullification" does sound very
metaphysical. Could you give an example of what it is supposed to
mean?
I wonder if Barry went and read Gardner, and that's why we didn't
hear further from him. Barry?

Rane, this business of reversals- I wonder if the people who were showing
it to me used the term "inversion"?- is new to me. I don't know a whole
lot about it. It's not just like water putting out a fire, it's more like
a thing becoming its opposite; like getting an ice-burn, you know? But I
don't want to ramble where I haven't enough information. Bet I could find
a way to understand and explain it if I had more physics...

As I said last time I posted here, almost a year ago, Feb. That was a

any better at keeping it going than anyone else. ;)

The premise is that users that want answers come here and ask - but
there isn't otherwise a steady stream of users coming here, and those that
have questions usually don't know tutoring exists. The only way to get
more "business" is to advertise frequently. Is this cf even listed as
a resource in menu or lynx?

I have a question that I asked Somewhere else and didn't get an answer to...
It may or may not be physics as I am fuzzy on these things (as you'll see)
If the universe is infinite and you filled it all up with 1/2" marbles
it would take an infinite # of marbles. If you filled it up with 1" marbles
it would still take an infinite # of marbles. Is the first "infinite"
BIGGER than the second? They're both infinite aren't they?
This idea has been bothering me for a while and I can't get a response
that makes sense from anyone
