*kow-tows & burnt offerings* O geniuses of Euphoria, would someone please enlighten me on some microgravity physics? If you can, i would prefer the physics and equations, not functions or procedures -- i want to be able to grasp what i'm lookin at. or maybe both. i know you guys just sit around waiting to do stuff fer me ;) The equations which Newton so handily thought up The gravitational formulae Inelastic/elastic collisions Transference of energy? (this is something like F = ma, right, with some trig and algebraic manipulation for happiness?) or a _good_ (e.g. lots of stuff, not necessarily fast) physics.e type library would be excellente, por favor. hrmm.... while we're at it, anyone have good info radiation exposure/protection, or where to get it? and, ummmm, any good, well-reasoned articles including feasibility and numbers (maximum acceleration, reasonable "burn" time, etc.)on "interstellar" transport methods including chemical, ion beams, solar sails (sun or laser), nuclear, or chicken fart? and with some good vernacular thrown in for the casual reader. I know Niven, Clark, and Asimov know (knew) the math -- but I don't have ready contact with 'em, ya know? oooh!oooh! and i finally finished my writes_any_algorithm_you_want.e library -- only a few minor hurdles to go (which machine function reads minds?) thanks. snortboy p.s. mebbe ah'm th' only one usin' a goofy system, but it would be awf'ly consideret, if'n it didn't bother ya too much, to just kinda thro sum line breaks in -- kinda break it up fer a fellah, eh? p.p.s. errrrggg.
