The only thing it is not, is the greatest odd prime, and though I have that somewhere in my notes, it would take too long to write it out. (Fermat rules) a question for the mathematical: in what manner is there no equivalent for primeness in non-integral numbers (reals, transcendents, quaternions)? i know the answer has to do with integral domains...how? (if this question belongs alsewhere, guide!) also: i am infinitely curious about : what is a lagrangian (related to a hamiltonian, an operator for enegy in generalized coordinates, right?) nd how does it relate to feynman diagrams, and then, sire, answer the question about +-i at interaction. (see above) as to passing info through water, it ain't gonna be easy. any form of electromagnetic information will get dispersed (or is it attenuated, i think it is attenuation...the signal will be absorbed, high frequency, ....energy will be lost, you'll never get a clear signal...but seven mile long cables might not be that unusual in oil-digging application... maybe if you convince someone there's oil on the floor...good luck. damn near curious, i'll say References: <1366@nsc.UUCP>
