Re: Our 'humiliating' mistakes.



P.P.S. Oh, I remember something else: The entire earth is only a few
farads, isn't it?

The capacitance of a conducting sphere (against the sphere at infinity)
is equal to its radius. The radius of Earth is about 6378 km which is
about 0.6 farad, since one cm is about one pF.
