Paradigm shift in geology

Article preview

The author's model of the cognition process called transfinite is proposed. The objectivity of this model is illustrated by paradigm shifts in geology. The formulation of postulates of the last quantum paradigm is given.

Origin of asteroids and meteorites (new cosmogonic concept)

Article preview

A concept of the origin of asteroids and meteorites that is different from the generally accepted one is proposed. The solar system is considered as a physically "open" system of bodies, which is periodically exposed to a strong galactic impact, which became 4.7 billion years ago the cause of the destruction of Phaeton. On the basis of meteorite data, a deep connection between the shell structure of Phaethon and the modern Earth has been established, which allows us to better understand the nature of planetary evolution after accretion. The existence of chemical classes and groups of meteorites is explained as a result of mixing of material of separate inner shells of Phaeton and gas-dust substance of galactic comets. Having considered the range of processes currently taking place in the asteroid belt, which are important for understanding the nature and origin of other small bodies of the solar system.

On some methodological problems of engineering geology

Article preview

The axiomatics of engineering geology is considered on the basis of its connection with the main categories of materialistic dialectics. In practical aspect this axiomatics is connected with the peculiarities of engineering geology specialist's work in theoretical and practical plans.

Problems in the subject of meteorology

Article preview

The proposed article is aimed at clarifying the specifics of the subject of meteorology, the relationship between meteorology and atmospheric physics is considered. Different views on this problem are analyzed. It proposes the clarification of empirical concepts of meteorology as a prerequisite for finding meteorological laws, and gives examples of such concepts.
