You guys are both very smart; let us not quibble or stoop to ad hominemities. But, Gray Rooster, can you give me some references from which I might learn what this "end of the world through harmonics" proposition is all about? Sure sounds like a long draw -- on the other hand I have read that Nikolai Tesla once threatened to cause an earthquake in the bedrock of Manhattan because he was reinforcing some harmonic or other with a timed pulse on a foundation pillar in his lab. Dunno if its apocryphal or not. Not the same thing. But look what happened to Galloping Gertie, the Tacoma Narrows bridge, due to reinforced oscillations. Hmm.

Thanks for the sparks, folks! Enjoyed it.

Regard,

A
