Well he's been invoking the term B.E.C. quite a bit, concerning his hypothetical stacks of kites, just not in that one partial response I passed along. The idea is the kites all oscillate together and power something on the ground. Not that he's built one or anything, mostly a lot of hot air...

OK thanks for that. Here's the latest 4-paragraph response from the kite guy: "Phonons are thermodynamic quanta of mechanical action classed as bosons, just as Doug's cartoon physics advisor demands. Yes, you must apply Debye temperature or de Broglie wavelength, based on characteristic...

As a famous clown once said: "I'm all ears!" :)

By the way, I don't mean "like" a BEC, I mean whether it IS or ISN'T a BEC. The guy already thinks it IS a BEC because in his opinion, it is "like" a BEC. He bristled at my reporting that you said it is not, invoking the names "DeBye" and "DeBroglie", and making fun of your avatar, implying...

Hello DrClaude: It's not that I'm not satisfied with your answer, in fact I am most grateful for even a single answer. Thank you. I'm hoping to get more than one opinion, i.e. a "discussion". Also, you didn't really go into much detail. I actually tend to agree with your answer, but even...

Thanks for that answer DrClaud. Impressive that this question was answered within 4 minutes of posting. I'm curious as to whether anyone else has any opinions to share on this subject. (?) Any more answers?

If say a hundred or more objects, at a human scale, are connected by a string, and they can be made to synchronize in an oscillation, could that be considered a bose einstein condensate?
