| Perhaps you can't imagine it like the Greeks did, but the 'Second Law of Thermodynamics' is being "violated" all the time; with the aggregation, and buildup of radiation, heat and matter into planets; suns, and stars: Which ultimately become so massive and hot that they loose their stability so that their own angular momentum tears them apart: Bursting them to smithereens; thereby creating new sources of radiation; heat, and material debris, which radiates outward, and is ultimately caught up in other, still growing planets, suns and stars, where it gradually _sinks_ to their centers; where it is all re-crushed by their tremendous internal pressure. This aggregation and disaggregation is just one of natures many repetitive cycles, and has been going on for all eternity: The Greeks were among the first to realize this. Don |

| > Perhaps you can't imagine it like the Greeks did... What made the frickin' Greeks (presumably the ancient ones) special? Oh... so the Ancient Greeks new about second law thermo? And they knew it was being violated? History according to Don I guess... And they knew about radiation? [pure crap snipped] Can you prove this? Idiot! |

| "ošin" <oš[Only registered users see links. ]> wrote in message news:[Only registered users see links. ]... Man has lost more knowlege over the last 10,000 years than we have gained. just because we havn't dug up a laptop doesn't mean that they used their fingers and toes to calculate. the "Ancients" on every continent on the planet have shown superior mathematic abilities particularly in astronomy. starting with the oldest "sumarians" they actually tell the story of the gods directing a icey moon of one of the outer planets to collide with earth so earth would have the right elements to support life. we could actually learn something from them. You know i'm the inventor of a device I claim is the stuff of conservation and unity. and through the years i have discovered many things including several clues indicating that the ancients had a better knowlege of my device than i do and i invented it. the aztec calendar is not a calendar at all it is a blueprint. the myans also have a calendar that indicates a repeating process of 13. Stonehenge is a demarcation terminal and maintenance bay. So it wouldn't suprise me if the greeks knew about thermodynamics. Ring |

| Don1, it's time for u to get off your ass and stop taking physics and history leasons from the cast of Big Brothers or American Idol.. I'm not even going to bother explaining the shear fallacy of your argument. |

My mother was a proofreader for newspapers. The first lesson she had to hammer home to every cub reporter was "No matter what else you do in a story, *ALWAYS* spell the names correctly." Errors of grammar can be written off to 'colloquialisms', factual errors (even substantial ones) can be corrected later, and misspellings of ordinary words will be caught by the proofreader (that was *her* job), but the proofreader may not always know the correct spelling of a name she has never seen before, and the readers will never forgive it if you misspell their names or the names of people they know. Two of those such errors that generated complaints to a newspaper would get a new reporter fired. Tom Davidson Richmond, VA |
