Hello Group

I'm no scientist and can't claim any expertise in any scientific field but this hasn't detoured me from my interest in studying meteor impacts. I've been studying impacts privately for well over fifteen years now.

While doing a search through Google I happened upon this forum and was excited to find that it has members discussing the very topic of my interest. So I joined hoping to share some of my findings and ideas. While here, I found that this seems to be a very relaxed and somewhat laid back group who not only offers constructive criticism of each others ideas but are also supportive of the person behind these ideas. Seems like a great place, thanks for letting me join.

Re: Hello Group

Hello Thunderbird,

"What other area's of geology are you into Jack ?"

I really can't say that I am into any other area of geology because in my screwed up belief I feel all formations on earth are somewhat attributed to meteor impacts. So from my standpoint it covers about all aspects of geology. I'm not a firm believer in plate tectonics, or at least I'm not convinced that it has had the global impact that many scientists believe. I won't deny them that it isn't happening but feel it is attributed to surface forces being pulled and controlled by the moon and sun than internal forces deep within our earth. I feel our earth's tides has more to do with it than any other force. I liken it to trying to hold a pan of water on one hand. It's incredible how so little water is hard to hold when sloshing back and forth. now magnify this by billions of gallons of water sloshing back and forth twice a day across our oceans pounding continuously on our shores. It's this continuing pounding on our shorelines by our tides, that is to me, the driving force behind the separation of the continents. Without getting into localized rock formations that I find very intriguing, this pretty much sums up my geological education. Not much of it by the book but it keeps me somewhat content... and you?

A Fine-Tooth Comb To Measure The Accelerating Universe
imageAstronomical instruments needed to answer crucial questions, such as the search for Earth-like planets or the way the Universe expands, have come a step closer with the first demonstration at the telescope of a new calibration system for precise spectrographs. The method uses a Nobel Prize-winning technology called a 'laser frequency comb', and is published in this week's issue of Science.

Fermilab physicists discover "doubly strange" particle
imagePhysicists of the DZero experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have discovered a new particle made of three quarks, the Omega-sub-b (Ωb). The particle contains two strange quarks and a bottom quark (s-s-b). It is an exotic relative of the much more common proton and weighs about six times the proton mass.

Stanford's 'autonomous' helicopters teach themselves to fly
imageStanford computer scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that enables robotic helicopters to teach themselves to fly difficult stunts by watching other helicopters perform the same maneuvers. The result is an autonomous helicopter than can perform a complete airshow of complex tricks on its own.
