J Jansky, Karl Guthe Jeans, sir James Jeffreys, sir Harold Geofísico inglés, nacido en 1891, que ha hecho contribuciones esenciales al conocimiento de la constitución interna de nuestro planeta. Fue el primero en comprender que el núcleo de la Tierra es fluido y ha estudiado la oscilación del eje terrestre estableciendo su periodo. Ha realizado también investigaciones sobre la composición y la temperatura de los planetas exteriores. En los años 20 y 30, Jeffreys retomó la teoría colisional de Jeans sobre el origen del sistema solar y propuso una variante, la llamada hipótesis mareal, que poco se separaba de la idea básica; fue abandonada cuando se demostró incapaz de explicar la distribución actual del momento angular en el sistema solar. Por esta y por otras razones, a partir de los años 40, fueron olvidadas todas las teorías dualísticas, es decir, aquellas que tomaban dos cuerpos (por ejemplo el Sol y otra estrella) para explicar la formación de los planetas.

It revolves around the planet from west to east at a mean distance of about 384,400 km (239,900 miles). The Moon is less than one-third the size of the Earth, having a diameter of only about 3,476 km (2,160 miles) at its equator. It is only 1/81.3 as massive as the Earth and has a density of roughly 3.34 grams per cubic centimetre, as opposed to 5.52 for the terrestrial body. The Moon shines by reflected sunlight, but its albedo i.e., the fraction of light received that is reflectedis only 0.073. The Moon rotates about its own axis in about 29 days, which is virtually identical to the time it takes to complete its orbit around the Earth. As a result, the Moon always presents nearly the same face to the Earth. The rate of actual rotation is uniform, but the arc through which the Moon moves from day to day varies somewhat. Accordingly, the face that the Moon turns to the Earth is subject to a corresponding variation, the lunar globe (as seen by a terrestrial observer) slightly oscillating in a period nearly equal to that of revolution. This apparent oscillation is called optical libration, and its amount is commonly between 6°> and 7°>. The surface of the Moon has been a subject of continuous telescopic study from the time of Galileo 's first observation in 1609. In his

Tuzo Wilson 'I enjoy, and always have enjoyed, disturbing scientists.' By ROBERT DEAN CLARK Any of the thousands of daily visitors to the intellectual Disneyland known as the Ontario Science Centre has a good chance of going elbow to elbow with J. Tuzo Wilson (whom the co-jostler might easily mistake for Ray Milland, or a resurrected, sans tufted eyebrows, Henry Luce) at the keyboard of one of its many video games. "Yes," confirms Mattie Howitt, Wilson's dervish of an administrative assistant from her command post adjacent to the director general's office, "I have to go get him off the floor all the time so he can sign the things he has to sign." The center's ingenious video games are an evolutionary advance over their cousins Pac-Man et al , but despite that qualification the vision of Wilson at a console is jolting. It is comparable to one of Isaac Newton frolicking in a Restoration sandbox. The linkage of those names does not strain credibility because the 73-year-old Wilson is quite possibly the world's most honored living geophysicist. He is a major contributor to the recently developed dynamic view of the earth, a revolution in scientific thinking that ranks in importance with those which followed Copernicus, Newton, Darwin and Einstein. Wilson revels in the knowledge that the image of himself at play with hoi polloi (there being considerable difficulty in establishing who is having the better time) upsets the stuffier of his academic peers. "I enjoy, and always have enjoyed, disturbing scientists," he says.

Jr. Thode Amazon base price: Used price: Buy one from zShops for: Average review score: very comprehensive treatment Thode does a masterful job of organizing the vast literature on testing normality. He has extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter. He covers both univariate and multivariate tests. It is designed for practitioners with most of the theory avoided but all the references necessary to learn the theory are given. The title does not do the book justice. He includes outlier detection (univariate and multivariate) and testing for mixtures of normals. Even influence function measures that do not necessarily relate to the Gaussian model are discussed. To my pleasant surprise some of my work on the use of influence functions to detect multivariate outliers is mentioned briefly. A nice feature of the book is the thoughtfully chosen quotes from statisticians at the beginning of each chapter. The first one provides the theme for the book. It is a quote from Egon Pearson in 1935 where Pearson (who with Neyman worked on optimal tests) says that it is permissible for statisticians to use less than efficient tests when simplicity or ease of computation are a consideration.

Dipole Reversals and Plate Tectonics Alfred Wegener When lava flows out of a volcano and hardens, the result is often a black rock known as basalt. Basalt is slightly magnetic, and as it solidifies and cools, it becomes magnetized in the direction of the prevailing magnetic field. The process is somewhat similar to the capture of the prevailing magnetic field by a cooling bar of steel, noted by Gilbert ( Figure 3 Volcanoes are often active for long periods, and by comparing the magnetization of their lava flows from different times (especially if such flows can be dated by some method) one can learn about changes in the direction of the local magnetic field. Bernard Brunhes (1867-1910) found ancient lava flows in France whose magnetization appeared to be reversed

The Origin of the Solar System by Lambert Dolphin Scientific textbooks are clearly written, lavishly illustrated, and they carry the full weight of the authors' beliefs and experience. Every generation of eager young students all too eagerly accepts the current scientific theories as gospel truth, not realizing that the text books of a previous generation proclaimed-with the same authority-models of the real world that have now been discarded. Such is the nature of "scientific progress!" "Science is the only self-correcting human institution, but it is also a process that progresses only by showing itself to be wrong." -Astronomer Allan Sandage. Theories for the origin of our solar system have come and gone, yet even today no satisfactory model exists that both explains all the facts and is consistent with the known laws of physics. As science in the western world began to abandon a Judeo-Christian view of creation, beginning about 200 years ago, the trend towards purely naturalistic explanations emerged. Today these views, known as "scientism" constitute the majority state-religion in our public school systems-if God exists at all He is uninvolved and irrelevant to a full understanding of the world we live in. (Ref. 1). German philosopher Immanuel Kant in 1755 hypothesized the origin of the solar system as beginning with a rotating gaseous nebula out of which condensed globular bodies that became the sun and planets-all revolving in the same direction. (Ref. 2). Essentially the same theory, now called "the nebular hypothesis" was proposed by the French mathematician Laplace in 1796. According to this model the hot rotating gas cloud began to cool and contract, and if this were to happen the law of conservation of angular momentum requires a more rapid rate of rotation. This speed up was supposed to have flung off rings which condensed into the planets.

In our first thirty years we have catalogued 237 archives for 49 repositories throughout the United Kingdom, principally university archives and libraries and national scientific institutions and learned societies, making in this way an indispensable contribution to the history of science and the recent history of Britain. Amongst the scientists are 22 Nobel Laureates from J.J. Thomson (Physics 1906) to Abdus Salam (Physics 1979), including Britain’s only woman science Laureate Dorothy Hodgkin (Chemistry 1964); and 163 Fellows of the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering. This achievement has been made possible by the generosity of scientists, engineers and their families in making the archives available for cataloguing and deposit in public repositories; the active interest of colleagues in receiving scientific and engineering archives into their repositories; and the financial support from an extensive range of scientific societies, charitable foundations and trusts, funding councils and private individuals. Full details of the scientists, the repositories and the financial supporters over thirty years are given in the anniversary papers that accompany this report.
