Anonymous Coward? Doh! Now, if I'd given a penguin a quick hug before posting then they might have spotted that I wasn't logged in and done that penguin thing that they do, whatever it is that penguins do to remind you that you haven't logged in on /.

If we build even more of these ships and tether them all together, then we could drive the containers across the ocean.

Evolving Rocks 172

Posted by kdawson on Wednesday November 26, 2008 @09:02AM from the survival-of-the-firmest dept.

SpaceAdmiral notes a new study making the claim that rocks have been evolving throughout Earth's history. "'Mineral evolution is obviously different from Darwinian evolution — minerals don't mutate, reproduce or compete like living organisms,' said Hazen in a statement announcing the study's findings. 'But we found both the variety and relative abundances of minerals have changed dramatically over more than 4.5 billion years of Earth's history. For at least 2.5 billion years, and possibly since the emergence of life, Earth's mineralogy has evolved in parallel with biology,' Hazen added. 'One implication of this finding is that remote observations of the mineralogy of other moons and planets may provide crucial evidence for biological influences beyond Earth.'"
