And no, it wasn't me.

Perhaps your linkage should be more specific.

Re: Is Pauli's repulsive force fundamental?

This is not a force in the classical sense of the word. The Exclusion Principle simply states that wavefunctions identical fermions must be antisymmetric wrt interchange, which results in a tendency to separate. It is not a good picture to think it induces acceleration. Think superconductors described by the BCS theory: the electrons form Cooper pairs which have Bose statistics so no longer obey the EP, but instead they form the superconductive state.

Sorry. I started the thread "altering the speed of light", and left on page 2 after I got a satisfactory answer to my question. I was surprised to come back a month later and find that it had gone on for 305 pages. I think bino was actually pretending to be a little kid who didn't know much. If you read the last page it is rather amusing.

This is another thread that some of you older folks might like. I actually learned a lot from some of the replies. It helped me put a lot of things in perspective.

That is the only other forum I frequent. The people there are generally much more intelligent.

That's not far from the truth. Try starting a pretentiously intellectual thread there. You will be humbled quite easily. But here, you can feel like you're King Shit (for a while)
