Finding a vacum chamber at your friendly local highschool or college science lab, and observing a beaker of water in it would help you understand. ... Wouldn't the experiment be more appropriate if the water is in a sealed plastic bag? You might want to trap as little air as possible, and leave some slack in the bag. Even better if the "plastic" was some kind of gas-permeable membrane. -Allan

How about knocking out a frog or a rat and placing it in the chamber to see what happens? (I'm too squemish to try this, but if someone does, post the results to satisfy my curiosity). I don't give a damn if you sign your name or not. John Witters
