I =
was assuming electrical noise of any type.
Just about any KIND of noise =
can be handled
in a similar fashion by tying eveything
together to be=
ISO-Whatever.
If two of the same kind and value of resistors
are cha=
nged in temp identically then the chage
should be somewhat invisible.
Like if EVERYTHING is 3C how would you even
tell it is 3C except th=
at there is a mystry pressure
causing an invisible accelerational pressu=
re force if the gas into
a great nothing nothing. In another 16 billion =
years it might
be only 1.5c but that pressure will still be there if
=
there is any temperature
however slight.
If any of that makes any sense to anyone.
