mardigrasbob 0 #26 November 3, 2004 ok ready for the big lie? Place a bar magnet on a piece of stryofoam, place it in a plastic bucket of water. It will line up with the earth's magnetic poles. Now the surprise, the red(north pole) points north. Opposites attract right, so the north pole is actually magnetically south. The world is upside down! also Worchestershire sauce is made from anchovies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is physics and I concur with Kallend Firstly, last time I looked - physics was one of three major scientific disciplines And also - think I concurred with Kallend too Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulipod 0 #32 November 4, 2004 Trying the experiment in an airplane or car would be pointless... as the bowl shape / imperfections and water movement determine the flow! You couldnt even easily make sure the bowl was level enough accurately if you're moving it manually Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
