A localised concentration does nothing to detract from the principle applied globally; and, very interestingly, according to catastrophe theory, may even appear to produce a transitory effect _contrary_ to what a global calculation would predict. As demonstrated by the technology of paraffin refrigerators. Even though I Googled for it I can't find how a paraffin refrigerator works. Anyone? Same as a gas one. Since paraffin is a soild (isn't it) and gas is a gas I don't get it. -- Travis in Shoreline Washington |
