THE WAVE. “The Compton effect has a very important place in the history of physics because it shows that electromagnetic radiation cannot be explained as a purely wave phenomenon.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

AQUEOUS GEOLOGY. “Chemical equilibrium and mineral saturation. Low-temperature aqueous geochemistry has become a well-developed science over the past several decades.” https://lnkd.in/eTGK5eZN View in LinkedIn

THE PHOTON. “To explain the shift in wavelengths measured in the experiment, Compton used Einstein’s idea of light as a particle.” https://opentextbc.ca/universityphysicsv3openstax/chapter/the-compton-effect/#:~:text=The%20Compton%20effect%20is%20the,wavelength%20of%20the%20incident%20radiation View in LinkedIn

EXAMPLE. “Recrystallization is the change process of micritic dolomite (calcite) to crystalline dolomite (calcite). It is caused by thermodynamics and dynamics, leading to the crystal form change of dolomite (calcite) and coarser crystals.” https://lnkd.in/ebKRGBrE View in LinkedIn

BATHED IN PHOTONS. “Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of a stream of mass-less particles, called photons, each traveling in a wave-like pattern at the speed of light.” https://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/toolbox/emspectrum1.html#:~:text=Radio%20waves%2C%20gamma%2Drays%2C,at%20the%20speed%20of%20light View in LinkedIn

VAST SCALES. “Mineral sheet aqueous recrystallization chemistry on geologic scales. Recrystallization and neomorphism are processes that transform minerals in situ into different forms of themselves, or a polymorph.” https://lnkd.in/e6CSiwCj View in LinkedIn

CONSTANT CHANGE. “Metasomatism: is a metamorphic process by which the chemical composition of a rock or rock portion is altered in a pervasive manner and which involves the introduction and/or removal of chemical components as a result of the interaction of the rock with aqueous fluids (solutions). During metasomatism the rock remains in a solid state.” https://lnkd.in/ecuZyBBT View in LinkedIn

“INFORMATION, be it classical or quantum, is intimately related to geometry.” https://lnkd.in/e2z5kfjz View in LinkedIn

METASOMATISM. “I would like you to look at it from a far broader viewpoint—as a universal process based on the fact that the minerals of all rocks are soluble in the fluids of nature, particularly water, but also in the mixed emanations from magmas, and on the fact that these fluids change the minerals to others, of different composition, stable under the particular conditions of pressure and temperature prevailing. Remove metasomatism and there would be very little left of metamorphism.” https://lnkd.in/enQ7UEgW View in LinkedIn
