Dr. Thomas Gold R.I.P.
Jul 11, 2004, 21:36
I've just been refreshing my memory on the details of Gold's theory and stumbled across a news article which reports the fact that Gold died recently.

Gold's theories about the abiotic nature of oil were published in his late 70s after a lifetime of remarkable work in astrophysics.

He's probably best known as the man NASA called in to advise the Apollo program about the nature of the moon's surface. " I would describe it as... 'powdery' " was his celebrated sound-bite (which tends to crop up as old black-n-white footage on documentaries about the moon landings).

He also did a lot of incredible theoretical work in astrophysics and astronomy.

I figure one gutterball on a card full of strikes is pretty good playing.
