By the way Uvah, that work on quasi-crystals resulted in the tenth Nobel for an Israeli scientist.

That's why I posted it. Never let be said that they don't grow 'em good there. BTW....in my high school many centuries ago we had a science teacher named Mr. Fishberg. This dude knew his stuff big time. Got me into studying physics and astronomy. Maybe that's why I'm so spaced out.

Nope. No bike sheds to hide behind. Little cubbyhole in the Prof's lab was better. Got to stay in out of the cold. :rofl:
