<P>This site consists of six sections on physics. Each section takes a concept in physics and applies it to the real world, using rats as 'test' subjects. By applying concepts to real-world events, we take the head ache out of physics, and put the fun back in.</P>
<P>The rats used here are pet rats, which come from Norway rat (<em>Rattus norvegicus</em>) stock. No rats were harmed in the making of this web site.</P></TD>
