Hello Michael, Martin, Matt, Steve, and list
To Michael: Well-stated. I was trying to think conceptually outside
of the realm of 'agreed upon' truth. By definition anything that
challenges that is unpopular. That tektites may be of lunar origin is
a thrilling possibity to ponder as well.
To others,
First , as I see it very little in this field, if anything, is 'mutually
exclusive'. The tendency to think in this fashion is a major pet
peeve of mine, so I shall refrain .
With regard to being the result of nuclear testing or volcanic
activity, it is precisely the 'reverse direction' possibility that
interests me. I am trying to get a picture in my head of all possible
explanations for the aerodynamic quality of tektites.
I see very hot material flying upward (in both cases) and, given that
this matter is in a molten state and 'flying', could that not produce
it's aerodynamic qualities? I thought it was worth consideration .
To Martin:
You stated, " Although he is (O'Keefe)
in disagreement with most others about the origin of Tektites, his
science
and descriptive works are excellent." I am sure I am reading your
statement incorrectly ( and admittedly, I have not read O'Keefe). You
are not suggesting that his work is of lesser quality simply because it
is unpopular?
Best regards,
Julia
