Have you read the article? I was specifically looking for the effect of scatter, but the article just kept on returning back to the "increasing output efficiency, blah blah blah". I'm sure it's more of a lack of me not being very fluent in this type of research, but if you've read, have you found the questions you posed back in the thread addressed?

LOL, so after saying I hope no one jumps in as a second author to ruin Taylor's text I found out a second author (David Morin) is now wedging his way into Purcell for a third edition.

Oh well, at least I have the second edition.

The one (and only one) bad thing I can say about Taylor is I think the exercises in the first five chapters are a little too easy; I have found those in the freshman level Kleppner & Kolenkow to be more challenging for the most part (though the numerical exercises are pretty cool). For chapters 6 and beyond I don't have another text to compare to, so I can't offer an opinion there. Still, it's masterfully written and I hope there is never a second author to jump on and ruin it with a new edition like you see sometimes.

Don't worry about it; I thought it might be something simple and intuitive. Taking time to give a complicated explanation would prob be a waste of time for you (and me too) if I don't go really brush up on the subject first and maybe find out on my own anyways. Taylor and Purcell are still pretty fun.

Quick physics question: why does the low angle of the sunlight in the early morning make bodies of water like lakes and ponds so reflective? As you can tell I don't remember crap from optics, lol.

Strangely enough one morning I was driving west through the mountains when the sky was still dark but just starting to go blue and as I made a turn and looked at a lake maybe 100 feet below and half a mile away it looked like a really bright mirror reflecting the sky. It surprised me because the Sierra crest was about 6-7 miles behind it (towards the west) and 2000-4000 feet above it. The sun wasn't even close to being visible and the sky was still a pretty dark blue behind the completely black Sierra crest. Oh yeah, not a cloud in the sky.

You ever read that Zubrin book?

I am available. Give me enough notice about when you are in town, and we might be able to line up a few of the less partisan political forum people that live in SA. Give scott some more of our money.

Hey bro, what's up?

Are you as scared of the Iranian Boogeyman as I am

¡Entiendes todo! Vete a la verga, para ser sincero.

Dude, can you translate Knight Rider for me?
