According to a new computer model, liquid methane in contact with a partially hydrogen-terminated diamond surface at extremely high pressures and temperatures spontaneously forms longer hydrocarbons, and hence the material of crude oil could be formed deep in the earth. Geologists, certainly in the West, believe that 99% or more of the hydrocarbons present in crude oil and natural gas originate from the "cooking" over millennia of the dead remains of living organisms (biotic), buried under layers of sediments 5-10 miles deep in the Earth's crust. However, the abiotic theory of petroleum generation found force in Russia and Ukraine, proposed by such greats as Dmitri Mendeleev (who devised the Periodic Table the classifies the chemical elements), Alexander von Humboldt and Marcellin Berthelot.

Stability of hydrocarbons at deep Earth pressures and temperatures

The authors of the present study (Stability of hydrocarbons at deep Earth pressures and temperatures) do not claim to have proved a case for abiotic oil, but they note that hydrocarbons could be formed by purely mineral means in particular geological environments such as rifts and subduction zones where the temperatures and pressures are "right", i.e. 1,500 K and 50,000 times the pressure at the surface of the Earth. The calculations indicate that the formation of longer chain hydrocarbons can happen in pure methane but the process is accelerated when the methane molecules are in contact with metal or carbon surfaces, e.g. diamond which act as catalysts for the methane-polymerisation to occur.

Fascinating of course, and undoubtedly these results will be taken in some quarters to mean that we will never run out of oil, Peak Oil being bunkum. But even if there were proven to be vast underground lakes of hydrocarbons, if we cannot recover them fast enough to begin matching the current 30 billion barrels/year of contemporary use and rising, it makes no difference. We should not be thrown any red-herrings that we need not press-on toward a future that is far less dependent on oil, and indeed a better planned use of energy in all its forms.

"Jupiter's moons are invisible to the naked eye
and therefore can have no influence on the earth,
and therefore would be useless,
and therefore do not exist."

London in September, 1991,, a (once) respected engineer,

author of several textbooks on digital audio and video,

and a Fellow of the AES, used his time addressing the society to attack audiophiles -





“Somehow I can’t conceive of an audiophile ‘one’…
You can only say that [if the data are identical, the sound is identical] once,
which is a problem if you have to publish a hi-fi magazine every month.
It leaves an intellectual vacuum…When the term ‘audiophile’ replaced ‘hi-fi freak,’
I immediately thought of necrophiles (sic) and pedophiles.
Perhaps I wasn’t far off.’”
