John, yeah I've heard that you can't have negative values in Kelvin.... but what
I'm saying is WHAT IF YOU DID? WHAT THEN? High weirdness? I have an itch at the
back of my head and an odd feeling in the pit of my stomach that says this 'limit'
of no negative kelvin isnt entirely true.... in fact I 'll bet that you might
just see something of that nature in the heart of an atomic blast! And it
wouldn't surprise me that it might have been partially responsible for the loss
of time noted by Bob Aldritch.... but of course I could be entirely wrong! ;)
Its just a thought I had a long time ago when my brain was fuzzy from drinking
way too much coffee......
