The Origin of Methane (and Oil) in the Crust of the Earth people.cornell.edu Modern information re-directs attention to the theories of a non-biological, primeval origin. Among this information is the prominence of hydrocarbons gases, liquids and solids on many other bodies of the solar system, as well as in interstellar space. [more back at Thomas Gold's home page] He also proposes that the 'organics' down there could support life and that life on Earth may have originated there. No doubt the men in black are aware of Gold; wrt conventional wisdom, his theories are as 'out there' as aliens arriving in UFOs. However, they are probably not flashy enough to catch the attention of the general public. Otoh, a few months ago a guest on The Tonight Show showed how the related phenomenon in Gold's NEW ITEM could explain why so many boats (reduced flotation due to gas bubbles) and planes (methane cloud ignited by engine exhaust) have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. He demonstrated both effects using a toy boat, toy plane and water tank, but I'm not convinced yet - not until I see it in the National Enquirer. Downedbyamegafart!
