Kennedy's findings should alter most theories about the thermal history of the earth, and help scientists learn more about how heat escapes from the earth's interior. In addition, the formula final ly establishes a correct relationship be tween a substance in its solid and liquid states, besides offering a new approach to studies of the melting process. In retrospect, Kennedy's discovery might seem obvious, but the startling truth is that generations of scientists overlooked it.
