The Scientific Basis for the Man-Nature Partnership
The Connected Pathway:
- Formation of the Elements
- Thermonuclear Fusion in low mass stars --> Carbon, Oxygen
- Thermonuclear Fusion in high mass stars --> Iron
- Beyond Iron
Supernova represent the ultimate in CONNECTIVITY
The Cosmic Abudance of Iron will play a great role in the development
of the properties of the Earth, including life
Moving Towards Uranium and a
Hot Core for later development of
Plate Tectonics
Making
The Solar System
Delivering Water to the Rocky Earth
Evolving Models of the Solar System and The Scientific Method:
- Death of Imagination --> Two Sphere Universe
- EgoCentric Ptolemaic Model
- Copernicus Asks Why Mercury is Never seen at Midnight
- Galileo sees a mini solar system around Jupiter
- Tycho searches for stellar parallax --> sees none --> Aarogant rejection
of Copernicun Model
- Tycho publishes data --> Kepler makes Geometrical Model
- Newton invents gravity, calculus but forgets about the speed of light
- Einstein invents causality and gravity as curved spacetime
