Site of the Day for Wednesday, August 22, 2001 Usenet Physics Frequently Asked Questions Obviously a must read for every liberal arts and humanities grad. The List likes to go out of its way to broaden the already soaring horizons of its members. "This is the web version of the Usenet Physics FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). Its purpose is to provide good answers to questions which have been discussed often in sci.physics and related usenet newsgroups. The articles in this FAQ are based on those discussions and on information from good reference sources." - from the website For answers to those inexplicable little puzzles of life, like "Why are golf balls dimpled?" and "Which way will my bathtub drain?", this is the site to visit. Of course, there are answers to rather more esoteric questions such as, "What is the mass of a photon?" and "Do tachyons exist?" The "Physics FAQ" is a plain and unvarnished site with "just the facts" but nonetheless valuable for that. http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/faq.html A.M.
