you are stew ped, scout. I won't go into my credentials, but I assure you no
one would confuse them for that of a junior high science teacher who also
happens to teach English.

btw, if you teach "science" to junior high school kids in much the same way you
ask "science" questions here, Gov Jim McGrevey was right, as in "Fire all the
teachers and replace them with qualified people".

swcount, if you really do have a teacher's license I shudder to think how
ill-informed the next generation will be. The question HAS to asked just why
any state in the Union -- even the poorest state -- would have you teaching
kids.

yuk.

No Jax, I'm a licensed, certified Science teacher (as well as English). I
also have 25 years experience working with electricity. If I look stupid to
you, it's because you are confused.

swcount, you are a high school student's limited mind. read just a single
book
and now you are an expert.

and swcount, don't quote Sailor Al out from left field. it makes you look
stew
ped.

Then your argument is not with me, but with Albert Einstein, who said,
"Mathematics is the language of the Universe."
I'm not ever sure how you can suggest the mathematics and physics can be
separated.

scout, this has been hashed and rehashed here so many times you need to
only do
a search and come up to speed.

scout, a lighnting strike can have One Hundred MILLION volts or more.
your
punny efferts to divert it are of no consequence.

scout, the term you wished to use was "physics", not "mathematics".

scout, I suggest you buy a St Christoher medal and be done with it.
for
it is
fact of physics that nothing is better than a St Chris medal. nothing.

Electricity never behaves erratically, only logically, following very
strict
rules that can be defined mathematically.
Is it your opinion that protection is impossible? Or are you saying
adequate
protection is impractical?

How many folks have lightning "proofed" their boat?

nobody. nada. zip. squat. zero. though I suppose you can find
some

God
is
gonna get 'em anyway.
