Alright! And I was afraid I'd be ostracized (sp?)! I haven't made it all the way thru The God Particle...I got suckered in because somebody likened the author to Richard Feynman. But, there ain't NOBODY like Mr. Fenyman! Do you read Heinz Pagels? IMO one of the best at elucidating concepts of physics. He wrote the Cosmic Code and Perfect Symmetry. His untimely death was truly crushing.

>Will have to review. I have The God Particle laying around somewhere at home. I was under the impression that the strong force held quarks together thus making protons possible and the weak force help the electrons around the nucleus.

>Its interesting to see that other programmers share my same reading interests... theoretical physics is my favorite thing to curl up with when I have run out of programming literature. That and hotrod magazines. :)
