Thanks for a a great discussion about something that has puzzled me for such a long time. I get it now! (I think). I really hadn't thought about the frame of reference properly and this is, as is made clear, why I just didn't get it. Thanks! :smile:

An English bird - a member of the Crow family. http://www.rspb.org.uk/Images/jackdaw_tcm3-21010.jpg I love the call they make.

Ooh that's harsh!

Try using PV = a constant, rather than PV = nRT

I still think not. If you look at line spectra from distant Galaxies, all of the spectral lines are at lower frequencies than they should be. As these Spectral lines correspond to energy levels between atomic orbitals, either the atoms are lower in distant galaxies, OR the photon frequencies...

But the photons we receive DO have lower frequencies than when they set out... otherwise we couldn't measure red shift! If the frequency is lower, the energy is lower... How does your reply explain this? :confused:

No, she understands a guy's Psyche Evo.. Sellling it for a decent price would be bad, but selling a petrol-head's pride and joy for 50p would hurt oh so much... The humiliation! The shame! :cry: :cry: It would be absolutely unbearable...

It has been top of my list for a long time RandallB. Glad I'm not on my own! :smile:

The positron IS an antiparticle - the antiparticle of the electron. Are you getting positrons and photons mixed up?

Stratford upon Avon?

I lost a wallet like this... It fell out my pocket getting in the car. I found it a week or two later under the car seat! (Of course, I'd canceled all my cards by then :rolleyes: )

Ivan - that is the best bit of home-made kit I've seen in years. Great stuff!

Get a nice new jumper.. and perhaps a hat. Then I'd spend my spare time sending snotty letters to Greenpeace activists and all the other treehuggers who went on and on about global warming saying: "Ha! So what do you say now smartarse?" :smile:

Wasn't it awesome!
