[rest of article deleted] ..O.K., i'm no physics major, but it seems to me i recall somthing about "conservation of power" & the like...so i have a question related to this: where did 2 million watts of energy *go* ? Wouldn't it have to be disspiated (i.e., as heat, light, a big spark, etc.) and/or converted to mass? Forgive me if my ignorance is causing me to overlook something here... -- *************************************************************************** "There is nothing either good or bad, | allen h. lutins but thinking makes it so." | VU0350@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu Shakespeare (Hamlet II:2) | VY8934@Bingvaxa.bitnet
