Is "dilute ultrapure argon gas" an oxymoron?

It's diluted with vacuum. A frothy substance made of quantum
foam.

And not all that much of that compared to normal air.. the
measurements were made around one atmosphere if I read the paper
correctly.

It's enough quantum foam to curve space-time and continually
change its geometry. Nothing to sneeze at.

I get that, but... if water behaves that way, I would have thought it would
do so over some range, however small, maybe depending on pressure.

the pressure is constrained by the triple point aparatus, because it
contains only water.

Huh??? Use something that does not work?

Nothing I mentioned doesn't work.

Firefox with NoScript would solve your problem with that web page. The
other add-ons are strongly recommended but are not relevant to that page.

Ghostery, I think, cause I didn't see it.

Not so hot..the link FORCES an install.
I take great exception to DictatorWare.
How about something else?

 

[Robert Baer]

You're not using firefox with NoScript?

Also use Adblock Plus, Flashblock, Web of Trust, and ForceTLS but they don't
apply to that page.

The triple point as the name say is really a "point" in pT space. Therefore
it is not dependent on pressure.

What gibberish is this? What link? From where? I certainly never
experienced any such thing. How is it the you seem to find the scamware
sites so well instead of the real thing?
