A Theory of Earth's Origin: Four Lectures

A Theory of Earth's Origin: Four Lectures

Otto Schmidt
5/5 ( ratings)
This book was orginially published in 1949 and consists of four lectures which were delivered at the Academy of Sciences Geophysical Institute in 1948 on the author's hypothesis of the genesis of the Earth and other planets. This book draws attention to the physical fundamentals and starting point of the theory, for which reason the lectures included only the chief results obtained from the concrete application of the theory; avoiding details and omitting mathematical equations, although the necessary scientific level has been maintained. These lectures make it easier to understand the new theory and will help in its criticism, testing and consequent development. The problem of the origin of the Earth is one of such great importance to science that it possesses interest not only for the specialists - astronomers, geophysicists, geologists, geographers and others - but also for the general public. The problem of the Earth's origin must be solved as quickly as possible on account of its specific importance to the study of nature and from the standpoint of our philosophy of dialectical materialism.
