    The latches are constructed such that a force perpendicular to the plane of the door would close them and one directed along the plane of the door, parallel to the ground, would keep it shut. As long as the door contacts the latch, these forces are exhibited, simple examples of the normal force.

    If you desire proof that the door hits the latch, first close the door to verify that it closes. Then measure the thickness of the door in the area in question. Focus on the thickness that the door goes past the outer frame of the fridge. Then measure from the frame to the latch. If the latter exceeds the former, they contact, and the latch turns off the light.

    If not, the light stays on. Then the lightbulb burns out. Then the light is off. So whatever happens, the fridge is fucking dark.

    Looks like the fridge discussion is over, unless anyone wants to talk about how freon works. Didn't think so. What about plasma? Everyone knows what it is (I think). But what can humans use it for (and yes, I know we're using plasma in fusion reactors and such).

    Surely it would be easier to just climb inside and shut the door?

    I use mine for suspending my blood cells and transporting nutrients.

    You know, I would accept the average opinion of 20000 contributors rather than a single writer.

    Oh my! That's hilarious! But, I'm sure you know I'm talking about plasma as in charged gas. Really, though, aside from heating things, entertainment, and lightsabers, I can't think of a use for plasma.

    That's the best joke I've read all day, thanks.
    I'm not so sure about that. I can accept tesla coils being found, I can accept them having a charge that arcs from an antenna to a target, but I don't see how it could just be plugged into the ground and having that much power. Sometimes, rednecks really piss me off. So does the law of conservation of energy.
    Of course, I'm more than willing to try all that myself.

    I bookmarked that page, and I understand how electricity works. You might want to shy away from my house, too.

    I bookmarked that, and <i>don't</i> understand how electricity works*, so you might want to stay FARTHER from my house. =D

    *I get how electricity works, I've a general understanding of it, but no formal education in the matter.

    Great. You bring the chairs and the beer, and I'll provide the entertainment, provided you've brought me good beer.

    Oh my ass! I've just heard in TV that american creationists (Discovery Institute) want the teaching of intelligent design instead of Darwinism and evolution at BIOLOGY at SCHOOLS. :lol: :lol:
    And that the USA do not have a national standard curriculum to prevent such cases.

    At times like this I'm so glad I'm not american...

    Frigo, there's a group of people who want to do everything in America. Now if the people in washington were only intelligent enough to realize that you don't become the personal bitch of every single damn group that comes along.
