In article , "Mike Lyle" writes: Nick can explain the stats better than I, and I wish dear old Franz were still with us to describe the physics, but I think it's essentially correct to say it's a matter of what the layman would call "averaging". 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. A perfect example in more than one sense: I remember some people back in Sa'udi had one which had to be turned upside-down every day to make it work. -- Mike. |
