Here's a link for a program for exploring fractals... a chaos "graph" of function...

Quite beautiful...

very interesting. i guess this blows the concept of the by-the-book, one-step-at-a-time sciences we are used to!
ironic that the man , thru interaction via a computer, gained this particular insight...

Sparky66Wv,

Thank you for the great compliments!!

I am a Sparky, which is slowly moving more and more into the Engineering areas, but I cannot see myself leaving the field work completely! It's still interesting and vital.

I feel that - in order to be an efficient Engineer, I should continue to be in the field as much as possible, along with keeping on top of new tech.

Right now, I am doing very limited Engineering work, so that's one reason [Linked Image] - but it will not change if EE work becomes real excessive. Just cannot see myself being "restricted" to one place of work indefinitely!!

As to the techno-junk, it's part hobby [personal interest], and part EE studies.

I appreciate all the compliments that everyone has given!!!! [Linked Image]
Passing this info on to others is primarily just to share the gifts I have been given, rather than to be selfish with them and live a dark life [kind of a spiritual thingee [Linked Image]].

The extents of this stuff becomes very difficult to understand, but to me that drives one to find out the answer.

P.S. I had seen some books about the Chaos Theories and such, in a few of my older book clubs, but never checked into this field. I'll take a look at the provided links and make further comments to this thread later!

Steve [Sparky],

Not familliar with that rust inhibitor, so let me know what you find out about it.
Neutrinos are relatively new discoveries [I found out about them in 1994].
They were figured out first in theortical Astrophysics, then found to be true through experiments.

The experiments took place underground at a depth of something like 2KM below the surface. I cannot recall the exacts of the whole experiment, but a liquid inside a sealed vessel was left in the mine for apx. 30 days and watched for that period. If a Neutrino passed through the liquid, it would create a reaction after it passed through it. The reaction would be somewhat similar to the reaction produced by Radon in an enviroment of a noble gas, such as Neon. This reaction creates a glowing neon particle.
The Neutrino would pass through the liquid without losing energy to it, but will create a temporary void in the liquid - this causes a change in the ground state of the liquid, which results in some type of reaction.

I'll re-check this experiment and post the exacts later [if I can find them [Linked Image]]
