*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.

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.
