The Big Bang produced a spectacle, the universe was birthed and inside it contained a marvel of complex systems. Astronomers have different theories on the origin of our solar system. David Berovici focused more on the Nebula theory, which believes that the solar system was formed from a cloud of gases. The cloud whirled, cooled and condensed. There was a gravitational attraction within the materials,which caused the particles to compact. Particles broke off and collided with larger chunks which cooled and solidified to form planets. Our earth was one of the planets.
The Earth has proved to be the sole planet to have conditions for a habitable world. Endless research and missions to other planets are ongoing to find a planet with similar characteristics to Earth. Berovici’s plate tectonics research continues to affirm how unique the Earth is. All solar systems are cooling and condensing but only Earth’s continental crust floats on underlying hot molten weaker mantle rocks resulting in plate formation. Professor Berovici illustrated video comparisons of the fracturing between Earth, Mars and Venus. His visual evidence of the convectional currents in the asthenosphere led to the fracturing of the Earth’s crust and never ‘healed’ unlike other planets whose scars healed themselves overtime was thrilling.
Berovici’s research elaborates on further unique characteristics of Earth through explanation about the formation of boundaries on its crust. His research focuses on the movements of the Earth through extension, Compressional boundaries and transform faults. His research connects to the origins of fold mountains, block mountains, fault steps, the Rift Valley, volcanoes, plateaus and earthquakes. In the wake of several disasters resulting chaos, such research of original Earth studies can give rise to long-term solutions on how to cope with the ever-changing Earth. Hypothesis and theories resulting from plate tectonic research may explain the shaking crust resulting to landslides and mudslides like the recent occurrence in Sierra Leone. This is a subject that the public should be more invested in, understand the planet to maximize the best it has to offer and to minimize potential disaster sparking off from its natural movements.
History has played a major role to progress and perfect such research. Histoigraphical reports have ensured a continued flow of findings, hypothesis and theories from past centuries and generations. Even though Berovici has coined his own research question, he is basing all his facts from the early pioneers of the field. The History of failed sciences has also driven such astronomical studies to perfection. In an effort to avoid past mistakes, modern scientists are engaging in peer review activities hence perfecting their findings.
