What is true of water, true of the Alpha-atmosphere, is also true of the Beta-atmosphere.   Frank.. the thought fits together. Back in 1995, when Putterman began publishing his SL work, We were in a series of e-mail contacts with him. Looking back at Seth's questions of our work with cavitation, it is obvious he was more mystified than enlightened by his experiments. He published a series of answers to questions he sent out to Universities requesting input. The replies were across the board in thoughts. Richard
