	That is correct.

	maybe it s just cause it s in space, where is no weight. like if you put a clock way down inside earth, the time also will be different. ____________

They did an experiment where one very accurate clock was flown in a jet one way around the world, and another was flown around in the other direction. Both clocks were obviously subject to the same weight-conferring property of gravity. Because of their motion relative to one another, the clocks then differed very slightly in their elapsed time. The amount of this deviation was consistent with that predicted by relativity theory.

Weight is just the mass multiplied by the force of gravity (converted to units of earth gravity). So, on the surface of the earth one kilo of mass also happens to weigh one kilo. Take it to the moon and that same mass would weigh only 0.167 kilo. In orbit around earth, it would have effectively no weight. The mass, however, remains one kilo no matter where it is. ____________

	Density = Mass per unit volume, Weight is due to gravity. I was OK up until the point where the school chemistry lab renamed the Specific Gravity (SG) bottles to Relative Density (RD). I lost the plot after that .....

	Density = Mass per unit volume, Weight is due to gravity. A significant observation for Relativity: 'Weight' due to gravity or due to acceleration are indistinguishable. (Which I find to be rather interesting...) I was OK up until the point where the school chemistry lab renamed the Specific Gravity (SG) bottles to Relative Density (RD). I lost the plot after that ..... Relative to what standard reference?... That sounds like a good move to avoid artificial units arbitrary conversion constants... Hence the SI units where strangely enough, the only 'arbitrary Human artefact' unit is mass... (Temperature is 'out on its own' as an arbitrary Human scale until being redefined with respect to Boltzmann's constant.) All of the SI system of units is being updated to be uniformly based upon physical constants only. Anyone for the old femtofurlongs per second?

	Meanwhile, OT for a waste of time: Anyone for the old femtofurlongs per second? Anyone up to the 'challenge' of converting femtofurlongs per helek into something more understandable?! It's all to do with a Hebrew system using Babylonian barleycorns! (See also the FFF system :-) ) Keep searchin' Martin ____________ See new freedom Mageia3 Mandriva Linux A user friendly OS!

	With the revised Drake Equation we find that it takes a lot more for intelligent life to pop up then we once thought in the 60's. .... Life as we know it, the placement needed for life, and complexity all deny a chance happening. yeah maybe the %chance for life is alot lower than originally thought but we know now 99.8% of all stars in the universe have from 1 to 16 planets. not only we dont divide anymore the number of suns / by the chance to have planets. we instead multiply the number of suns by a median number of planets ( stars X 8 planets ) not counting the number of moons these planets have ^^ ____________

	That is statistically silly. ____________
