USSR: Academic Paper (1974) – “Earth – a Giant Crystal?”! (11.6.2023)

Looking through the colour photographs taken by the Gemini probes, we could discerned the three nodes of the system: Morocco (20), California (17) and Florida (18). Here, exactly in the calculated places, circular geological structures with a diameter of 200-350 km are clearly distinguished.

It could be that the Earth’s crystalline structure strongly influences the biosphere of the planet and the formation of geochemical and biogeochemical provinces.

In the centres of the European and Asian faces of the icosahedron (2 and 4) there are two vast biogeochemical provinces in which soils lack some elements and too many others. Therefore, natural selection among plants and animals is aggravated there.
