Really Cool Wikipedia Physics Article

This has a whole bunch of stuff on it I'd never even heard of. I think the coolest one was the "sonoluminescence" problem, personally, hehe, where if you collapse tiny water bubbles with hugely powerful sound waves, the water molecules emit bits of light. And they don't get why. There aren't many macroscopic mysteries like that around anymore, I found that cool.

Uh, oh, another Elessar brain teaser. I have printed this one off to try and digest over lunch break.
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.
