Teaching About Nature's Nuclear Reactors
J. Marvin Herndon
Naturally occurring nuclear reactors existed in uranium deposits on Earth long before Enrico Fermi built the first man-made nuclear reactor beneath Staggs Field in 1942. In the sto…
Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics
J. Marvin Herndon
The principles of Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics are disclosed leading to a new way to interpret whole-Earth dynamics. Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics incorporates elements…
Background for Terrestrial Antineutrino Investigations: Radionuclide Distribution, Georeactor Fission Events, and Boundary Conditions on Fission Power Production
J. Marvin Herndon, Dennis A. Edgerley
Estimated masses of fissioning and non-fissioning radioactive elements and their respective distributions within the Earth are presented, based upon the fundamental identity of the…
Total Mass of Ordinary Chondrite Matter Originally Present in the Solar System
J. Marvin Herndon
Recently, I reported the discovery of a new fundamental relationship of the major elements (Fe, Mg, Si) of chondrites that admits the possibility that ordinary chondrite meteorites…
Mercury's Protoplanetary Mass
J. Marvin Herndon
Major element fractionation among chondrites has been discussed for decades as ratios relative to Si or Mg. Recently, by expressing ratios relative to Fe, I discovered a new relati…
Protoplanetary Earth Formation: Further Evidence and Geophysical Implications
J. Marvin Herndon
Recently, I showed that the "standard model" of solar system formation is wrong,yielding the contradiction of terrestrial planets having insufficiently massive cores, and showed in…
