Startlingly Unique Meteor Pebble

I’ve said this before, but there’s a lot of bad science out there, from “global warming” [itself a fatally flawed long-term forecast] to the “social sciences,” which haven’t been invented yet.

I think this point is well-made by showing an example of genuinely great “hard” science. Please make yourself some coffee or tea and slowly read this fabulous, true story about a pebble unlike any other anywhere on earth – itself a masterpiece of inorganic chemistry.  Be very, very ashamed of yourself if you are bored by this brilliant research.


This link offers an example of a naturally occurring example of “Penrose tiling” as described in yesterday’s blog posting.  It also offers startling geological evidence about the violence of our early solar system.
