...there a real prospect that the world will run out of its standard fuel resources? Yes, eventually. How much time remains? Nobody can tell for cer tain, but many specialists cite the figures of M. King Hubbert, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, who predicts that 90% of all oil and gas will be gone by 2035, about 90% of all coal by 2300. Before that doomsday comes, most experts believe, technology can provide alternate sources of power, notably through nuclear energy. In the meantime, however, fuel supplies are al ready becoming scarcer, harder to dig out and thus...
What the meetings did signify scientifically, Geophysicist Spilhaus...
...hatch leak, the astronauts cut loose the lunar module's ascent stage and sent it crashing back to the moon's surface 59 miles west of Hadley Base. Its impact jiggled all three of the nuclear-powered seismometers on the moon, including the new Apollo 15 instrument. Geophysicist Gary Latham of Columbia University was delighted...
...hour and a half later, Scott donned his suit and poked his head out of Falcon's top hatch. "Oh, boy, what a view," he shouted, and he proceeded to name the features he had so carefully studied on earth. Scott's descriptions were so detailed that NASA Geophysicist Robin Brett said he performed as well as a professional geologist...
...hundred thousand times earthly atmospheric pressure (14.7 Ibs. per sq. in. at sea level), the hydrogen would begin to solidify first, its density becoming less than that of the remaining gaseous mixture of hydrogen and helium. Physicist Ringermacher, then a Private First Class stationed at West Point, and Yale Geophysicist Veronis confirmed that such pressures could well exist at a depth of several thousand miles in Jupiter's atmosphere...
