[time-nuts] Thermal time constant

[phil at pseng.org.uk]

The suggestion of beryllium was somewhat tongue-in-cheek ie not to be  
taken seriously, I did mention there would be a few problems, death  
being somewhat a terminal one.

I agree with Bruce that specific heat*density is what is really  
required (I'd forgotten how light beryllium is. I don't seem to have  
much laying around to be familiar with it)

As an aside, cuts from copper swarf can take a long time to heal.

Sorry if I've lowered the tone of a good list.
