Thanks Terry, what is disturbing: we a;ready knew about this- Lake Mono and more arsenic eating bacteria species see e.g. Discovery Channel, Aug 14, 2008. In my opinion, Mesenchytraeus solifugus- the Alaskan ice worm is even stranger and typical for understanding the essence of life conquering

Here's another way to use Vt in a prediction. Because it looks as though Vt can be used to derive Planck's Constant, then use Planck's Constant to calculate a very accurate Vt. I don't know how accurate these other variables have been measured, but presumably, they are far past the 4 significant

Some peanut butter jars dont do that... on the original post, I am familiar with the bottle design. The top cup has little measuring marks, and the instructions on the bottle clearly tell you what to do. Remember, RTFM! On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 8:22 AM, OrionWorks - Steven V Johnson

-Original Message- From: Craig Haynie by back-calculating Vt, we can then use it to predict the effective radii of protons in the nucleus, which is the variable that seems to be the least certain. Craig, as you no doubt have noticed in this exercise, the proton radius has been a
