Hmm. I am getting a vibe that Mr York is a graduate student. I may be wrong, but to me stress-energy tensors sounds more like a study group/seminar/thesis topic rather than a topic for a serious research project. Grad students are supposed to work 24/7, so your concern is valid. But they have also been known to take breaks every now and then - particularly when not under the pressure of an imminent deadline.

Well, certainly! I spent a lot less time studying than I did other stuff myself, as a student. But still, taking breaks might not be easy when living on a space station - I would guess that you need a pretty serious reason for going back to Earth with any kind of regularity. Well, it probably doesn't go that far anyway. We'll see.
Border Reiver:
That went better than expected.
Hopefully, Marten remembers that Hanners isn't a beer person.
Delator:
Really Francis? :psyduck:
Marigold, I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but...you can do better.
DSL:
Get going on that drink, Marten. Hanners will really need it when she gets back from washing her hands. Have one ready for Marigold, too.
