Age of the Earth research. Most geological samples from Earth are unable to give a direct date of the formation of Earth from the solar nebula because Earth has undergone differentiation into the core, mantle, and crust, and this has then undergone a long history of mixing and unmixing of these sample reservoirs by plate tectonics, weathering and hydrothermal circulation. All of these processes may adversely affect isotopic dating mechanisms because the sample cannot always be assumed to have remained as a closed system, by which it is meant that either the parent or daughter nuclide (a species of atom characterised by the number
Science of Education: Its General Principles Deduced from its Aim and the Aesthetic Revelation of the World Science of Education: Its General Principles Deduced from its Aim and the Aesthetic Revelation of the World Science of Education (full title: Science of Education: Its General Principles Deduced from its Aim and the Aesthetic Revelation of the World) is a book written by the German empiricist Johann Friedrich Herbart.
