Why not? I can also discuss algebra and arithmetic if the discussion calls for it.
One aspect that I was attempting to point out is the fact that air has considerably more mass than many people suspect. I know I was surprised the first time I learned that a cubic meter of air has a mass of about 3 pounds.
Well, then I can't believe that I am discussing high school physics and chemistry. But, being a former Christian evangelical fundamentalist, I regard my participation on this board as being somewhat a civic duty to my species, and, in particular, some of its unfortunate members.
