2. HOIATUS Mõõtmise tulemuseks on arvud. Kui räägime arvudest, siis räägime millestki, mida ei ole looduses olemas. Mõttelisi mudeleid võib ehitada nagu meeldib. Mudel pole ei õige ega väär, mudel võib olla vaid enam kasulik või vähem kasulik. Näide: laev sõidab seisvas vees kiirusega 20 km/h ja vesi voolab kanalis sõidusuunas 10 km/h. Kui suur on laeva kiirus kanali seinte suhtes? Mudel 1: Mudel 2: Kumb on õige?

4. VÄLK arvudes Pinge kuni 1 GV (aga 3 km ja 30 kV/cm?) võrdlus: kõrgepingeliin 300 kV, National Electrostatic Corporation'i Pelletron-kiirendi 30 MV. Voolutugevus 20–100 kA võrdlus: Elektripliit tarbib ca 10 A. 5000 elektripliiti tarbivad 50 kA. Võimsus ≈> 1000 GW, töö ≈ 1000 kWh võrdlus: Kolme Kuristiku Tamm: 18.2 GW, HERCULES-laser 40 000 GW (3×10-14 s) Eestis tuleb keskmiselt 1 välk aastas ühele ruutkilomeetrile ehk ühel hektaril peab välku ootama sada aastat. Temperatuur ≈ 30000 K võrdlus: Päikese pind 6000 K.

14. From WIKIPEDIA: Roy Cleveland Sullivan (1912 – September 28, 1983) was a U.S. forest ranger in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. Sullivan was hit by lightning on seven different occasions and survived all of them. In his lifetime he gained "Human Lightning Rod" as a nickname. 1942: Sullivan was hit for the first time when he was in a fire lookout tower. The lightning bolt struck him in a leg and he lost a nail on his big toe. 1969: The second bolt hit him in his truck when he was driving on a mountain road. It knocked him unconscious and burned his eyebrows. 1970: The third strike burned his left shoulder while in his front yard. 1972: The next hit happened in a ranger station. The strike set his hair on fire. After that, he began to carry a pitcher of water with him. August 7, 1973: A lightning bolt hit Sullivan on the head, blasted him out of his car, and again set his hair on fire. June 5, 1974: Sullivan was struck by the sixth bolt in a campground, injuring his ankle. June 25, 1977: The seventh and final lightning bolt hit him when he was fishing. Sullivan was hospitalized for burns in his chest and stomach. Roy Sullivan shot himself on September 28, 1983. Two of his ranger hats are on display at two Guinness World Exhibit Halls in New York City and South Carolina.
