“I hereby accuse the BOSTON HERALD of cheating by rescinding an article that was damaging to the pats and replacing it with one trying to vindicate them. “

Hmmm. They deliberately lied by altering the position and statements of a renowned professor in their home town?

I have to call BS on that one.

Yes. They absolutely did. Look at the url. They changed the article but forgot to change the url. The prof was originally quoted as I excerpted. Now suddenly he’s saying there’s a lack of info. Somebody else even cited the same quote.

If they didn’t change the article, then I can only conclude the physics professor is a moron.

Guy Lussac’s Law is:
P1/T1 = P2/T2
Thus P1*T2/T1 = P2

If NE filled each ball to the minimum pressure at 70 degrees F, how much pressure loss would you get going down to 45 degrees F?

P2 = 12.5 psi * 280k / 295k = 11.9 psi.

Temperature in the formula is Kelvin, not Fahrenheit. The prof is full of deflated air. A 2 psi drop was not possible, New England cheated.
