If, for instance, the case considered is that of a globe, 8000 miles in diameter, of solid rock, the solution will apply with scarcely sensible error for more than 1000 millions of years. For, if the rock be of a certain average quality as to conductivity... Mathematical and Physical Papers - Pàgina 300per William Thomson Baron Kelvin - 1890Visualització completa - Sobre aquest llibre
