Life and the Inverse square! C and C please
I'm certain this is OT for sci.space.policy, not sure for sci.physics.
As has been previously posted here there are probably better newsgroups than sci.space.policy for this discussion. Suggest: sci.philosophy.meta sci.philosophy.tech sci.math Note follow-ups. Dave |

Comments and criticism welcome. It should be obvious to most the defining role that inverse square relationships play in the physical universe. The "inverse-square law" is simply a reduction of the law of conservation of flux, as measured by surface integrals, when applied to a flat 3-space. If the space is curved, or contains other than 3 dimensions, the inverse square law does not hold. Tom Davidson Richmond, VA |

"Uncle Al" wrote in message ... BULL****. Animal basal metabolism is proportional to 3/4 power of body mass. Power laws also describe other kinds of relationships, such as the metabolic rate of a species and its body mass (called Kleiber's law), and the size of a city and the number of patents it produces" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law |
