COMIC ZONE ON NOW- WITH NEAL ADAMS

[heinlein99]

Anybody ever notice how all those ancient civilizations are covered in several feet of dirt? Maybe the Earth IS getting a little bigger. But... where's all that dirt coming from?

Meteorites and Space Dust my friend. Meteorites and Space Dust.

Anyone else's Anti Virus software going nuts when opening this media file??

 

I am getting this:

 

Trojan.Abwiz.F is a Trojan horse with rootkit abilities that downloads and executes remote files and sends confidential computer information to a remote attacker. The Trojan also allows a remote attacker to perform various unauthorized actions on the compromised computer.

 

 

Neal Adams good, ROOTKIT BAD!!!

 

Update your definitions folks! It's a nasty world out here on the info highway

It comes from the Earth. Possibly a small amount comes from space debris and such, but the vast majority of sedimentary deposits come from dead plants and animals, and the redistribution of the surface material due to climate conditions. Some stuff is deposited by volcanic activity, but most is just dead stuff decomposed back into dirt.

same place the dust in your bedroom comes from. bits and pieces of matter that broke off stuff and settling from the air.

Why from these boards of course. Everyone knows this is where the dirt is.

Deja vu all over again.

Dinos and gravity and mass, oh my!

 

It's a long interview.

Earth's Crust Missing In Mid-Atlantic

Science Daily — Cardiff University scientists will shortly set sail (March 5) to investigate a startling discovery in the depths of the Atlantic.

 

 

A drill will be used to extract samples of the exposed mantle.

 

Scientists have discovered a large area thousands of square kilometres in extent in the middle of the Atlantic where the Earth’s crust appears to be missing. Instead, the mantle - the deep interior of the Earth, normally covered by crust many kilometres thick - is exposed on the seafloor, 3000m below the surface.

 

Marine geologist Dr Chris MacLeod, School of Earth, Ocean and Planetary Sciences said: "This discovery is like an open wound on the surface of the Earth. Was the crust never there? Was it once there but then torn away on huge geological faults? If so, then how and why?"

 

To answer some of these questions Dr MacLeod with a team of scientists, led by marine geophysicist Professor Roger Searle, Durham University, will travel to the area which lies mid-way between the Cape Verde Islands and the Caribbean.

 

The expedition will be the inaugural research cruise of a new UK research ship RRS James Cook. The team intends to use sonars to image the seafloor and then take rock cores using a robotic seabed drill. The samples will provide a rare opportunity to gain insights into the workings of the mantle deep below the surface of the Earth.

 

Progress of the cruise can be monitored via a live web link to the ship:
