What could be more exciting than a theory which stands conventional physics on its head and claims that materials are held together by external compressions, not by internal tensions - which claims that internal tensions, bonds and the like, are negations and no more real that the vacuum of the wifey's hoover. Howdy Frank, Been reading John Herman's posts. curious. Exciting theory in action is the eyewall of a hurricane of the size and scope of Katrina, a near 200 MPH wind with an eyewall at one poijnt in excess of 40miles diameter. What " held" the vertical eyewall in place???? Differential pressure?? What pressure are we seeing since the pressure absolute psia vs the psig can be understood and measured by aircraft flying into the storm. Frank has the explanation"nailed". BETA.. NOT all the forces associated with huerricanes are understood and BETA is understood. The curious part of the study of the forces in hurricane creation and dissapation is the " strange" events taking place on  the opposite side of the earth in harmony with the vortex... hmmm! Richard
