- W2040341519 abstract "In attempting to empirically verify ideas and theories concerning astronomical changes, we encounter that basic limitation of the sciences: the enormous time scale over which these changes are known to occur. In an effort to surmount this problem, scientists have developed an ingenious array of methods and techniques. Computers, for example, have provided considerable insight regarding stellar evolution, star cluster dynamics, and morphological evolution of galaxies, and a recent 7i~ta8 article by Guest and O'Donnell (1977) is a tour de force on the techniques of reading planetary surface features to deduce a given planet's geological history. Geologists and paleontologists, of course, have long employed the rock strata of the Earth's crust to reconstruct terrestrial conditions throughout the Earth's own geological history, but it has also been recognized that the domain of the geo-scientist can provide us with some potentially powerful insights into our astronomical past as well. For example, on the basis of their fossilized remains, we know that life forms have been in existence on the Earth for at least 600 million years, and probably for as long as three billion-plus years. One of the more interesting aspects of this fossilized record lies in the fact that numerous life forms are currently in existence which are virtually unchanged through tens or even hundreds of millions of years (Fig. l). These so-called living fossils include in their ranks such diverse creatures as sharks, molluscs, corals, jellyfish, flatworms, and various types of insects and algae (Fig. 2). By studying the contemporary forms, the bioscientist can tell us under what extremes of temperature they can survive. From these data we can in turn deduce that the solar luminosity cannot have significantly altered from its current value while those creatures have existed on the Earth. Such a constraint has the effect of neatly sweeping away all possible energy generating mechanisms save nuclear processes, and the fact that no other energy process can yield a solar life span consistent with the terrestrial fossil record remains to this day as one of the basic pillars upon which we rest our view of the Sun as a thermonuclear furnace." @default.
