I haven't got it !

I was told over the weekend I may have Hysteresis, thankfully I've been told today I don't

Apparently I've had contact with someone who has it

Me neither - phew thats a relief, apparently if you have it together with exponential, it can be deadly

Hysteresis represent the history dependence of physical systems. If you push on something, it will yield: when you release, does it spring back completely? If it doesn't, it is exhibiting hysteresis, in some broad sense. The term is most commonly applied, as Webster implies, to magnetic materials: as the external field with the signal from the microphone is turned off, the little magnetic domains in the tape don't return to their original configuration (by design, otherwise your record of the music would disappear!) Hysteresis happens in lots of other systems: if you place a large force on your fork while cutting a tough piece of meat, it doesn't always return to its original shape: the shape of the fork depends on its history.

Got any sign of a rash Ben??

Sounds like memory foam to me.

Danny.

What sad bunch! lol

Iv still no idea what they are on about Marty!

Phew ..... I thought it was me!

Ask Mr Badham - we caught it off him

Memory foam has no resemblance to Hysterisis, Oh & neither has a fork
