- Then why are they so uniform in size? And why don't they grow? - TB - 5/15/2009 5:24:06 AM

  - No, it is not just you. The previous close link between theory and experiment has been broken. - David F Mayer - 5/18/2009 12:23:48 PM
    - Interesting observation, or should I say, interesting theory? - ER - 5/18/2009 4:52:44 PM
