The Fourth Source

Meer over het boek

To the well known sources of energy in the universe--gravity, nuclear fusion, and electromagnetism--Tuttle adds nuclear fission as an explanation for otherwise puzzling phenomena. A veteran of four decades in the nuclear industry--including health and safety--he contends that fission has been excluded from academia by anti-war sentiment and government secrecy. His topics include isotope variations and dating, uranium and the creation of planets, isotopic evidence for the Earth's reactors, the asteroids, Planet X and the Milky Way, life and death at the K/T, thoroughly modern humans, whether the Hubble Space Telescope was out of focus, from planet to spiral galaxy, and the Big Bang.
