“Robert Hazen predicts that Earth has more than 1,500 undiscovered minerals”
Stop and think about just how stupid this statement is.
Answer: These are UNDISCOVERED minerals. If they are undiscovered how would they possibly know many are undiscovered? Was it in a dream he had? Maybe it was something he ate.
Who knows? They are undiscovered and we won’t know until they are discovered. That poses a problem with his credibility for there is no proof of the “UNDISCOVERED” minerals so how can he prove himself right?
It’s kinda like climate change isn’t it. No proof but positive statements from the “scientific” community.
No wonder you can’t believe a damn thing they say until it is actually proven and certified by the scientific community.
Stop the logic please! It’s 15500 degrees outside and we should be worried about that global warming thing. /sarcasm off
read Tax-Chick’s post above. New minerals are being discover all the time. Many form in extreme and uncommon conditions. Others are simply very rare. Some were formed long ago in conditions that no longer exist. Hazen is all about relationships between the entire environment, including life forms and the formation and distribution of minerals.
