Actually slugs, being composed of normal matter don't
"repel" more than any other entity. All matter repels
since it involves the force of negative electrons coming
into contact with each other.

While Lee's post is some very nice documentation on how
to convert betweeen various units it doesn't deal with the
more significant issue of what to do about slugs.

I have discussed this at greater length in:
