Two strange spherical particles, the Dannyon (mass $1\times 10^{-23}\,{\rm kg}$, radius $1\times10^{-6}\,{\rm m}$) and the Paulino (mass $50\times10^{-23}\,{\rm kg}$, radius $2\times10^{-6}\,{\rm m}$), have been discovered at the edge of the universe. These two particles have been observed interacting together (the Dannyon orbits the Paulino) in isolation many times, and it has been concluded that the two are bound by not only a Newtonian (gravity) force, b… text/html 2016-03-25T18:40:22+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://msuperl.org/wikis/pcubed/doku.php?id=course_planning:computation:scratch_work&rev=1458931222&do=diff Project 2: Part A You are a member of a scientific research team at McMurdo ice station which is funded by the Carver Media Group in Antarctica.
