If you think about it, the forces of the nebutron were never substantiated, so this would in turn be a false assumption of the utmost proportion. And why do I have to look at a woman's leg while I write this drivel? This appears to be diametrically opposed to the criant theory that isn’t.

BBC really does have some great programming, the discovery/tlc/history channel stuff is terrible nowadays. Even Nova has been slipping away from presenting information that assumes a certain level of intelligence in the viewer. Now, when it 'defies" gravity, is it really the kinetic energy remaining in the fluid that really causes it to slosh up and around (and leak over the edge)? Very cool!
