Today Bits discussed some of his findings with us.
Bedtime Story
After the discovery of silver in about 4000 B.C. or about that time, our ancestors discovered the element iron.
You will be surprised to know that the oldest iron objects used by our ancestors in Egypt were beads from iron meteorites (which has 7.5% Nickel as compared to the iron in the earth's crust which has no Nickel).
Why so?
I mean to ask, why did they use the iron which came from the asteroids and not the one available on our planet earth?
That is simply because our ancestors discovered the process of smelting of iron much later in 3000 B.C.
The chemical symbol of iron is Fe which comes from Latin ferrum with an atomic number 26 and a characteristic spectral lines.
By mass, it is the most common element on earth, as it comprises the bulk of earth's outer core which is liquid and the inner core which is believed to be primarily a solid ball.
The solid inner core has a radius of 1220 kilometres which is roughly 70% of the moon's radius.
But how on earth do we know this?
There is a branch of study called seismology wherein the seismologists study earthquakes and the elastic waves that ripple through the planet.
It was the great Lisbon (Kingdom of Portugal) earthquake of November 1, 1755 which corresponded with the blooming of scientific revolution in Europe that started the scientific understanding of the origin of earthquakes.
The number of human apes killed in Portugal, Spain and Morocco was around 50,000.
It was in 1857 when Indians first revolted against the British Raj that an Irishman by the name of Robert Mallet pioneered the study of earthquakes and established the new field of seismology.
His 1846 paper titled "On the Dynamics of Earthquakes" was presented to the Royal Irish Academy and laid the foundation of this field.
He himself conducted his field study of the Great Napoleon Earthquake or the 1857 Basilicata Earthquake that killed nearly 10,000 in the Basilicata region of Italy, southeast of Naples.
The fact that the earth has a central solid inner core as compared to the outer liquid core was discovered by a Danish (same nationality and period as Bohr) lady seismologist and geophysicist Inge Lehmann.
All can't be narrated in one night mon ami.
We shall gradually go through this story of iron, planet earth and seismology night after night.

Good night mon ami and my fellow cousin ape.
