I found this interesting, hope others do to.

Is "dilute ultrapure argon gas" an oxymoron?

It's diluted with vacuum. A frothy substance made of quantum foam. :)

And not all that much of that compared to normal air.. the measurements were made around one atmosphere if I read the paper correctly.

It's enough quantum foam to curve space-time and continually change its geometry. Nothing to sneeze at. ;)

Yet ANOTHER goddamn popup! How can one block that s*it?

Are you talking about a rabid dog???

Yah, quantum foam spores are more numerous this year than before..

Ghostery, I think, cause I didn't see it. Mikek

You're not using firefox with NoScript?

Also use Adblock Plus, Flashblock, Web of Trust, and ForceTLS but they don't apply to that page.

From 5 digits (273.16 kelvins) they derive a value with 9 digits (Boltzmann constant = 1.38065156 (98) X 10^-23). Does the logarithmic relationship of the Boltzmann constant make that mathematically valid?

The triple point of water is taken to be exactly 273.16000... kelvins, just as an inch is exactly 2.54000... cm.

the triple point of wather is, by defintion, precisely 273.16K they're not starting from 5SF

I get that, but... if water behaves that way, I would have thought it would do so over some range, however small, maybe depending on pressure.

the pressure is constrained by the triple point aparatus, because it contains only water.

Nothing I mentioned doesn't work.

Firefox with NoScript would solve your problem with that web page. The other add-ons are strongly recommended but are not relevant to that page.

Not so hot..the link FORCES an install. I take great exception to DictatorWare. How about something else?

Huh??? Use something that does not work?

The triple point as the name say is really a "point" in pT space. Therefore it is not dependent on pressure.

What gibberish is this? What link? From where? I certainly never experienced any such thing. How is it the you seem to find the scamware sites so well instead of the real thing?
