Force that becomes stronger with increasing distance?

I see that Q.E.D. beat me to the punch on the quark-gluon-plasma, so I’ll just mention that I too prefer “Thruth” and “Beauty” over “Top” and “Bottom”.

I mean how gay is that? :smiley:

Me? Truth to tell, while I happily pursue truth and beauty, I’ve always prefered observing tops and bottoms.

Sorry.

As a slight hijack, I want to mention a more common example (for the non-physics inclined…so, what, would that be the physics declined?) of a force that doesn’t decrease with distance: the restoring force on a spring (or any harmonic oscillator, really). The greater the displacement from equilibrium, the stronger the restoring force. Hence, Hooke’s Law: F=-kx

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread, already in progress.

You guys have it wrong…it’s ABSINTHE that makes the heart grow fonder…
