[meteorite-list] Doomsday Recalculation Gives Humanity Greater Chance of Long-Term Survival
http://www.technologyreview.com/view/512771/doomsday-recalculation-gives-humanity-greater-chance-of-long-term-survival/ Doomsday Recalculation Gives Humanity Greater Chance of Long-Term Survival MIT Technology Review March 21, 2013 And the odds would improve further, say physicists, were we to make serious efforts to counter existential threats such as asteroid strikes. The Doomsday Argument is the idea that we can estimate the total number of humans that will ever exist, given the number that have lived so far. This in turn tells us how likely it is that human civilisation will survive far into the future. The numbers are not optimistic. Anthropologists think some 70 billion humans have so far lived on Earth. If we assume that we have no special status in human history, then simple probabilistic arguments suggest that there is a 95 per cent chance that we are among the last 95 per cent of humans that will ever be born. And this means there is a 95 per cent chance that the total number of humans that will ever exist will be less than 20 x 70 billion or 1.4 trillion. Now suppose that the world population stabilises at 10 billion and our life expectancy is 80 years, then the remaining humans will be born in the next 10,000 years. That's not a long future for humanity. Today, Austin Gerig at the University of Oxford and a couple of pals put forward a new argument with a (slightly) happier ending. These guys look at the scenario in which many civilisations have evolved throughout the universe, the so-called universal doomsday argument. In that case, we should consider ourselves to be randomly chosen from all individuals in that universe or multiverse, they say. In the past, these universal arguments have been no more optimistic than the ordinary ones. They generally state that long-lived civilizations must be rare because if they were not, we would be living in one. What's more, because long-lived civilizations are rare, the prospects for our civilisation ever becoming long-lived are poor. One problem with these conclusions is that they are based on very general arguments. So the new work that Gerig and co have done is to develop a more detailed analysis that takes into account factors such as the number of existential threats that civilisations will face - things like nuclear wars, asteroid impacts and global pandemics, not to mention the many threats we have not yet thought of. This new approach approach allows Gerig and co to take a more fine-grained look at the odds that humanity will survive for much longer in future than it has existed in the past. The results are complex but their main conclusion gives some reason for hope. If [the number of existential threats] is not too large, the probability of long-term survival is about a few percent, they say. Although this can hardly be called optimistic, it is nowhere near as gloomy as previous calculations. Gerig and co say their calculations suggest some obvious actions humanity could take to significantly improve its chances of long term survival. 'If there is a message here for our own civilization, it is that it would be wise to devote considerable resources (i) for developing methods of diverting known existential threats and (ii) for space exploration and colonization, say Gerig and buddies. Civilizations that adopt this policy are more likely to be among the lucky few that beat the odds. Scientists have only recently has begun to study existential risk in a systematic way but this work is only beginiing to feed through into the public arena in the form, for example, of an increased focus on Earth-crossing asteroids. Perhaps it's time to take existential threats much more seriously.

[meteorite-list] Russian Scientists Find Crater in Meteorite-Hit Lake
http://en.ria.ru/science/20130321/180166867.html Russian Scientists Find Crater in Meteorite-Hit Lake RIA Novosti March 21, 2013 MOSCOW, March 21 (RIA Novosti) - A radar probe of the bottom of Chebarkul Lake in Russia's Urals has revealed a crater possibly created by a fragment of a meteorite that exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk last month, a Russian scientist told RIA Novosti on Thursday. The meteorite broke into approximately seven large fragments and one of them is believed to have fallen into Chebarkul, forming a hole in the ice about eight meters in diameter. Analysis of minute rock fragments collected near the hole has confirmed that they are from a meteor. Tests revealed they were chondrite, which is the most abundant type of meteorite, and contained some 10 percent of iron. Scientists from Russia's Institute of Earth Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation (IZMIRAN) carried out a study of the lake's bottom using wide-band earth-sensing radars. A 3D image of the bottom shows a 3-meter crater that could have very probably been created by impact with a large meteorite fragment, said IZMIRAN researcher Alexey Popov. Popov said the crater is not located directly beneath the hole in the ice, but is some 10 meters to one side of it. Emergencies Ministry divers searching the site in February failed to find any traces of the meteorite as the bottom of the lake was covered in a thick layer of silt. The meteorite that slammed into the Urals region of central Russia on February 15 landed with a massive boom that blew out windows and damaged thousands of buildings around the city of Chelyabinsk, injuring 1,200 people in the area. Health officials say 52 people were hospitalized. NASA estimates the meteorite was roughly 15 meters (50 feet) in diameter when it struck Earth's atmosphere, travelling faster than the speed of sound, and exploded in a fireball brighter than the sun. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 7325 - Mercurian or not? Komatite
I can't speak to crystallization dates but I do have a theory about what one type of Veneusian or Mercurian meteorite might have petrologically speaking. Because early mantles here on earth were 4-500° hotter than now, our early crust/mantle* was composed of a rock type called a komatitehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komatiite Komatite is very low in silica and theoretically washed over the crust like water in as shallow a dept of 10mm. Komatite is recognizable owing to its spinafex texture This texture has acicular(needle-like) sprays of olivine Some meta-komatites here on earth can have boughs of these extremely long yet thin olivine crystals(1m plus) dendritic chromite an sphericalclinopyrxene!. Most of those early mantle extrusives/basalts have been recycled by weathering processes unlike those of Venus and Mercury which must have been left pertty much as they formed in a non-tectonic environment. Now looking to images alleged to be from NWA 7325 http://www.meteoritestudies.com/protected_NWA5790.HTM There is one view which approaches the description outwardly. I haven't had an opportunity to research estimated mantle thermal histories - The inner planets should have been heated higher and lived in the komotite environment longer than we saw here on earth. The link provided by Stephan regarding MESSENGER shows that there are several plots well within the basaltic komatite window. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012821X12007078 If anyone has the original classification paper--nakalite or not-- Please share. Elton * I call it crust/mantle because prior to weathering there wasn't much of a difference. On Mar 20, 2013, at 8:36 AM, Melinda Hutson mhut...@pdx.edu wrote: Tony Irving has presented an abstract at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, describing NWA 7325 and suggesting it MAY be Mercurian. Chemically speaking, NWA 7325 is more plausible than the angrites (which Tony argued were Mercurian a few years ago) as a meteorite from Mercury, although there are some apparent mismatches. During the Q A, Tim McCoy got up and argued the con position, stating that there are other more likely origins for this unusual meteorite. One big problem is the apparent crystallization age. There is some preliminary data (and I didn't get the isotopic system) suggesting the rock formed from a melt 4.5 billion years ago. That argues against Mercury and for an asteroidal parent body. McSween and others used the young crystallization ages of the SNC meteorites to argue they were Martian before we had proof in the form of trapped Martian atmosphere. Mercury is larger than the Moon, and its surface looks somewhat younger than the older portions of the Moon. Rocks from the Moon do not have the 4.5 billion year old crystallization ages we see in asteroidal samples. Highlands rocks are generally 4.2-4.3 billion years old, and maria samples are distinctly younger. There is one old lunar rock, but the error bars are large on that date. Mercurian rocks should have crystallized at or later than lunar highland rocks, and definitely later than asteroidal. So maybe somewhere in the 4-4.3 billion year range would be expected. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Fundraiser for Bill Southern - Please Help
Hi Maria and list, Thanks for posting this! Bill Southern is one of the good guys and I hope we're all able to pitch in and help him. On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 6:40 PM, Maria Haas dragons...@msn.com wrote: Most of you will know either his name or his site and quite a few of you know his generosity of spirit. Bill Southern of Nuggetshooters (http://www.nuggetshooter.ipbhost.com/) is a longtime member of the meteorite community. I know him as a man who never passes up a chance to help anyone who needs it. He has given to every one of my fundraisers and it's time for help to come back his way. Bill's wife of 27 years, Barb, has stage IV cancer that has spread to her brain. She has had a lot of radiation therapy and most recently, a second biopsy that bore grim news. Like so many, they don't have health insurance and the medical bills are piling up. Without help, Bill could lose everything trying to add days to Barb's life. That's where you and I come in. Bill and some really special friends have donated some meteorite-related items for me to sell to raise money.
