Stratigraphic Paleobiology
Understanding the Distribution of Fossil Taxa in Time and Space
Language: English
Release Date: March 12, 2012
Whether the fossil record should be read at face value or whether it presents a distorted view of the history of life is an argument seemingly as old as many fossils themselves. In the late 1700s, Georges Cuvier argued for a literal interpretation, but in the early 1800s, Charles Lyell’s gradualist...

Gravitation, Inertia and Weightlessness
Centrifugal and Gyroscopic Effects of the n-Body System's Interaction Energy
Language: English
Release Date: April 25, 2016
This work discusses the problem of physical meaning of the three main dynamical properties of matter motion, namely gravitation, inertia and weightlessness. It considers that Newtonian gravitation and Galileo’s inertia are the centrifugal effects of interaction energy of a self-gravitating n-body...

Short Historical Overview In the 1940s, two phenomena in the ?eld of cosmic rays (CR) forced scientists to think that the Sun is a powerful source of high-energy particles. One of these was discovered because of the daily solar variation of CR, which the maximum number of CR observed near noon (referring...
