Good show, but not too loud, a lot of people will get very upset. A recent "Trading Places" type doco had a white caucasion become Asian, and a black guy become white. The newly become Asian's wife seemed to be quite upset, but his son thought it was dead cool. Roots was a great story even though later the premise was found to possibly erroneous - whilst the lineage in the Sates was fairly straightforward the link to Senegal? was tenuous. You'd be pissed off if you were Adam Ant. If only Babylon had know this when they fighting in a Brixton riots in 1981, that they destroying their own cousins hang out at the "All Star Take Away".

that's a bit of an oversimplification though, but for good reason. For one, the interaction between photons and matter is not 100% understood. And for two, high energy particles can be thought of as a high energy photons (thanks Heisenburg!). So basically the difference in interaction is due to an energy difference, and that is not understood properly (see point 1). and what Ivan has described is often proposed as a cosmic ray particle detector mechanism. However, it does require a very large amount of "medium", and so a large number of detectors to detect said visible light. A continental sized bit of, say, ice is suggested. Now, if onlu one where avaliable (looks pointedly at Norht Pole)
