    Re: Darn those definitions (was: The new Super Car) —Dennis Clark
   (...) 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 (...)

        Re: Darn those definitions (was: The new Super Car) —Patricia Schempp
   (...) 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)
   
        Re: Darn those definitions (was: The new Super Car) —Kevin Baker
     (...) easy (...) Like I said, everything is compressible, with the probable exception of the stuff in a black hole. Even the exclusion principle (the law that controls elecron 'orbits' round an atom) is reconed to be overcome by sufficient force (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Compressible fluids —John A. deVries II
   (...) Um, I'm sorry, I honestly didn't want to keep this discussion alive in ANY form but this is silly. The pressure difference from top to bottom results from the weight of the water on top. Period. If I put a 6 ton weight (shades of Monty (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

        Re: Compressible fluids —Laurentino Martins
   I think all of you meant with this discussion is that water don't get substantially denser (thick) from the surface to the bottom, right? (...) [ mailto:lau@mail.telepac.pt ] [ (URL) ] -- Did you check the web site first?: (URL) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
