The Deep Hot Biosphere Con't

I picked up a copy today from the Leddy Library here at the U. Funny, after being here 4 years in undergrad, I've never had to use the library to check out a book. First time for everything, I guess.

Pretty good read so far. The author was originally an electrical engineer, w00! Heh. Back in the 40's he presented the idea that the frequency selectivity of our ears is done with resonating hair like membranes in the inner ear, whereas at the time it was believed the frequency response was performed entirely in the brain. 30 years later, the "experts" concided that he was right . People believed the world was flat, once, too :) Of course, this Gold guy has been wrong, too. No one's perfect. That's the fun of science.

This guy went on to some other theory about the earth's pole's reversing every few million years or so. He ended up being right, even though the experts told him to get the hell out since it wasn't his field of expertise.

The majority of experts still cling to the fossil fuels theory, but time will tell what ideas are right ;)

I guess to show: just because you are not an expert in a field, doesn't mean you can't become one, or atleast explore some area of it. Anyway, many concepts taught in different fields end up applying to a multitude of different fields, ie. frequency analysis, is used in all types of engineering, natural sciences, astronomy, as well as geology (predicting earth quakes and stuff.)
