Default 20 gaussian questions for art

Art invoked the name of Issac Newton to support Art`s claim of
equlibrium defining a Gaussian antenna.

OK, Newton`s apple was in equilibrium until its support released the
apple to the force of the earth`s gravity (more properly the mutual
attraction between the apple and the earth but due to inertia the
earth`s motion was insignificant). The apple fell at an acceleration of
32 feet per second per second if my recollection is correct.

Gravitational force and electrical attraction force are different
phenomena with vastly differing strengths so I don`t see a necessary
correlation between the mass of an antenna and its electrical properties
and performance.
