i heard that Toffoui...

You have good ears, but that's reasonable since goblins have big ears, no?

The famous London Meeting of 2010 was interesting but became fairly quite when someone fell asleep.
I do hope both Grump and GIG can liven things up a bit if/when they attend the forthcoming one.

I do hope you can both kiss and make up, perhaps you could lighten the atmosphere and reconsider your altitudes to each other by turning up in suitable Christmas attire.

Absent freezing or boiling water will expand / contract by less than 1% at the sort of tempartures changes one is normally likley to find going up and down troodos while air volume for a given mass will (unrestricted ) change by a factor of 1.24.

In a reasonably flexible bottle say half full of water therefore the change in temperture will not cause any significant change in the volume of water and will not contribute signifantly to deformation but relative changes in air pressure acting on the non lquid part (and liquids cannot be compressed) will.

As for the experiment suggested by GR - here is one GR did earlier.

Do not try this at home.

Oh Gawd... now you've contributed Stud, we'll soon have Kimon along to tell us about some alleged Ancient Greek contribution to the field...

Take an empty 1.5 litre plastic water bottle and fill it with water at room temperature. Now stick it in the fridge (not freezer) for a couple of hours and the bottle will have deformed. When you open it, thus releasing the pressure, it will pop back into its original shape. You can try this at home.

He’ll probably claim that fluctuating air pressure was discovered when the first Greek farted on Mt Olympus and noticed it was smellier than in Athens!

That's because you were squeezing it before you put the cap on!

A fart would probably represent an improvement to the air quality of Athens....

I didn't know Billy smoked a pipe.

Believe me bill, I tried hard. Even searched my Minoan era archives (Icarus and all that) but couldn’t find any relation of ancient Greeks with the Stratosphere. I even looked in the official site of the Red bull-Stratos project but still nothing. Not in the “Aeronautical records”, not in the mission “Technology” section, or the “Atmospheric”, or the “Meteorological” or the “Physical effects” sections. NOTHING. Here, look for yourself if you don’t believe me.

Very disappointing.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear Kimon....Similarly very disappointed that that's the best you can do, that you can't come up with any real Ancient Greek contribution to the field and that you can't even highlight more than 7-8% of the words...
