Words and Music: In the Ghetto, by Scott Davis
Assume that there is true equilibrium on the international space station, with no measurable gravity. On earth, when you light a candle, the smoke goes up, because the heated gases are less dense than the cooler air around them. What happens when you light a candle on the space station?
