(...) In lugnet.robotics, Peter Dantic writes: I think you will find that, with the exception of black hole stuff, everything is compressible. It is certainly true to say that a gas is more compressible than a liquid, but there is no defined 'level (...) (25 years ago, 7-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I think that you will find that fluid is not compressable. If fluid were compressable fish could not live 2 miles down, divers couldn't dive and dolphins and whales would be crushed on their very common 700 foot dives. This is all quite true (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) incorrect my friend. if water was not compressable at all there would be no pressure difference from the top to the bottom. Admittedly it is not very easy to do it, but it will compress. Most solids are compressable too. At hight pressures, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Dear Mister Dantic, I am sure you carefully thought out your statement about compressibility, but I must point out your intolerably egregious oversights. Specifically, here are several things that cannot be compressed: - Massless particles (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
