Wow, sci.physics.*!
Are they sill alive?
 

yes they are active, but if you are expecting highly technical discussions, then no.
so sci.physics.relativity is almost as active as sci.physics, but has more physics related content, whereas sci.physics is like... 2 guys running the whole show and its fun. you will understand when you see.
*foundations is not really active, i thought it was from the header count.
