Way off subject Wow - yup - what brought that out, pray tell? As one of those muttering physicists, I can tell you that the integration of gravity with the other three fundamental forces (electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear interactions) has baffled the best of us, including Einstein. Gravity really does seem to be different than the other interactions in some fundamental ways. To me, though, the exact nature of gravity is fun but not really the most interesting problem out there. As I write this, I'm about to start a class on wave-particle duality, a mystery at its core as is so much of modern physics. One really good aspect of these mysteries of modern physics is the downfall of determinism, implicit in Newtonian mechanics, and limitations placed on what we human beings can know, even in principle. Hoo-boy. Maybe this is a discussion best taken off-line, or to a different forum. Is Obama really going to repeal the laws of physics as part of his program to heal the planet? Just wondering. nrg
