Hi all, another newbie here
« on: January 30, 2010, 07:09:03 PM »
Hi all,

This looks like a great place to spend the couple of hours "geek" time that I have convinced my other half I need to have every weekend :D

Looking forward to getting to know you all

Well, physics geeks are always welc...

waitaminute.

What is this 79 thing? That means you are not the first physicsgeek, but the 79th, or even maybe the 80th!

I dunno... maybe you're not even really a physics geek...

Ohhhh-kay, buster:

STATE THE 4TH LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS! NOW! DO IT!

You're right, it was a trick question.

Although, when I wikkied the three laws of thermodynamics, I found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroth_law_of_thermodynamics

and even this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_laws_of_thermodynamics#Tentative_fourth_laws_or_principles

So actually you could've almost made something up and still pass the test.
