...chromite. One theory, says Geologist Wilfred Bryan of Woods Hole, is that sea water circulating through fractures in the ridge's rock formations may carry off some of these minerals and concentrate them elsewhere. By learning more about such elusive processes, scientists may some day be able to predict the location of minerals in more accessible regions of the ocean. Says Geologist-Diver Robert Ballard of Woods Hole: "The earth is alive. If we can understand how it works, if we can understand its psyche, we can then go about looking for its resources in a more efficient...
...elegantly simple method is based on the idea that the products of certain industries are used as production factors in other industries.

...author wisely does not predict where man's skills will take him. As a scientist, he recognizes that human progress is governed by the same uncertainty principle that applies to the movement of electrons. Science can specify where a moving electron is at any given moment, but cannot tell where the electron started from or where it will stop. Nor can science be any more exact when it comes to man. His origins are shrouded in mystery. All that is certain is that man is still evolving and, if the past is really a prologue, ascending. · Peter Stoler
