nonoise: when I was a kid my stepdad used to drag race at New England Dragway (Ford GT500), as it was called then and I got to hang in the pits. Very educational. I do recall one event where some pro stock car had magnesium wheels (real mag wheels, he he!) and the beads diameter on those rear tires must have been too large or something because on take off, the rims spun in the tires and ignited the wheels and they burned baby! What colors, what smell! Truly Hot Wheels! The mad scramble to put that out was a calamitous riot. Needless to say that guy lost that heat and his nice car looked like ----.
And twoleftears: Higgs boson does exist, at least there's evidence for it, but it's hard to pin these subatomic particles down as to location in time and space, which brings us back to Schrödinger's cat, which we'll never know if it's alive or dead, which bring us to back to maritime...say something maritime's kitty...
