Crystalline stenonian time features from earth and beyond

چکیده
The writings of Niels Stensen (Steno) on mineral growth and modification in his Prodromus, together with work time process other solids, are here synthesized as five classes features defined by changes the visible continuity either or both chemistry orientation. This organization highlights Steno’s implicit recognition fractal, scale-invariant nature natural regard to space, time, material. effectiveness validity this Stenonian geochronology framework is demonstrated down atom scale modern case studies U-Pb zircon from samples originating Earth, Moon, Mars spanning most solar system history. Recently discovered nano-scale features, termed chronostructures, were intimated Steno corpuscular view behaviour. remarkable advances Prodromus seen a resulting intersection highly attuned approach visual perception, adoption Stoic (Senecan) ethics early career guide philosophy, influence Galilean scientific environment Florence. It shown that, virtue its intensive properties, continues serve an independent critical check accuracy absolute measurements geologic given latter’s inherent dependence sample volume assumption chemically closed system. In way legacy help propel human understanding how we see our place time.

Exobiology: approaches to life beyond the earth.
It is a privilege to discuss some basic problems in biology with an audience whose special concern is for the recent striking advances in the physics of the earth in the solar system. However, many of us are looking forward to the close investigation of the planets, and few inquisitive minds can fail to be intrigued by what these studies will tell of the cosmic distribution of life. To conform ...
متن کاملA general nonaqueous route to crystalline alkaline earth aluminate nanostructures.
A nonaqueous route based on the solvothermal reaction of alkaline earth precursors with aluminium isopropoxide in benzyl alcohol is introduced. This simple process leads to crystalline complex nanostructures of alkaline earth aluminates, which, up to now, could only be obtained by solid state reaction at temperatures above 1100 degrees C or by sol-gel and further calcination at temperatures onl...
متن کاملAutomated Construction using Contour Crafting – Applications on Earth and Beyond
Although automation has advanced in manufacturing, the growth of automation in construction has been slow. Conventional methods of manufacturing automation do not lend themselves to construction of large structures with internal features. This may explain the slow rate of growth in construction automation. Contour Crafting (CC) is a recent layered fabrication technology that has a great potenti...
