Mind you, the cognitive dissonance given out by what I am proposing is so great that it will take the failure of the Hartlepool AGR and then some before anyone takes B-a and G-a seriously - unless of course, like you, or perhaps Gankin, they have come across anomalous events themselves. In the example you quote it would no doubt be argued that the heat of reaction for the cube can't escape as easily as for the thin film and that this heat speeds up the hardening process. I now realise there is a relatively simple experiment which will demonstrate the existence of the B-a for anyone who wants to be convinced. I will outline it in a future post on this thread. Cheers, Frank
