Talk:Dusty plasma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The terms of the equation need to be defined.
Should "q/m ~ √G" be "q/m ≈ √G"?
I hope "vxB" doesn't mean "v × B". — Omegatron 02:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for that, all fixed. --Iantresman 08:15, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Inappropriate
I must say that I don't like the fact that the book "Physics of the Plasma Universe" which is chiefly concerned with the pseudoscience of "the electric universe" is used as a reference here.--Deglr6328 23:23, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Physics of the Plasma Universe has NOTHING to do with the Electric Universe theory, and is published by a reputable publisher (1992, Springer-Verlag). If you can find (a) just ONE sentence in the book which suggests pseudoscience, (b) any mentions of the "Electric Universe" (c) any error in the section on dusty plasmas, then I'll remove the reference. Have you read it? --Iantresman 01:03, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

- "electric universe" "plasma universe" "plasma cosmology", it's all the same nuttyness.--Deglr6328 01:57, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

- I concur. Reference removed. It's not a particularly good or relevant reference anyways. Nonsuch 03:40, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I restored the citation. This is the actual book where some of the informatin for the article came from, and is in accordance with Wiki policy. What you personally think about plasma cosmology, is irrelevent to the discussion on dusty plasmas. --Iantresman 07:35, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
