Re: Origin of the old barometer story



Stick around, Lisa. It is true that we hashed this one a year ago,
but the rerun doesn't hurt anybody. And there is not one soul on this
list who wants to do anything the dampen the enthusiasm for physics
of a none-year-old, especially one who writes as gracefully as you
do, and is of the female persuasion to boot. We need to do everything
we can to increase the number of girls interested in physics, and
you're starting at just about the right age. Keep it up.

Thank you. The original isn't quite as fanciful and fun to think about
as if it actually had been Niels Bohr, but the student did inspire me
to try to be braver in the future. :>)

Have a great day

PS. I apologize that I re-introduced this into your forum, but I
wasn't reading this forum a year ago.
