Robert, you wrote: ""quantum behaviour of hydrogen atoms in the highly curved space-time near small black holes". Frank, I did not know that you were so......obtuse!" Oh no, not a bit. There have been many practical applications for this thesis topic in the past 24 years. Every time I see a black hole floating by, I throw some hydrogen in and marvel at the spectral shifts, which, of course, exactly match my calculations. ;-) And you wrote: "expect a few PMs from me from time to time with physics questions." There are quite a few members of NavList with extensive physics knowledge. There's me, yes, but also George and others. I seem to recall we even have a couple of people who actually do physics for a living. So if you do have a physics question, I don't think any harm would be done to announce it here and maybe ask people to reply off-list (or not, it's up to you... and the patience of other list members). GregR you wrote: "Well, you look nothing like I'd imagined" This is a truism of online life! Have a look at the photos from the Navigation Weekend (fer3.com/Mystic2008). There are a bunch of NavList members in the photos, but there are no captions yet. See if you can guess who's who. :-) -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
