1) If you have 1 planck mass taking up a volume of space one of one planck length cubed, it will generate a black hole
2) nearly everything you do in a given day that is not a direct result of gravity (falling, not flying away, etc) is a result of an electromagnetic interaction. 3) cheap sunglasses can damage your eyes. If they darken incoming light but do not screen UV rays, your pupils wil dialate because of the darkness and your retinas will get a very unhealthy dose of UV radiation. -IggDawg |
