The half-life of 244Pu (8.2 X 107 years) is short compared with the age of the earth (4.5 X 109 years), and hence this nuclide is now extinct. However, the time interval (a) between the element synthesis in stars and formation of the solar system may have been comparable with the half-life of 244Pu. It has been found recently in this laboratory that various meteorites contain excess amounts of heavy xenon isotopes, which appear to be the spontaneous fission decay products of 244Pu. The value of H calculated from the experimental data range between 1 to 3 X 108 years. The process of formation of the solar system from the debris of supernova is somewhat analogous to the formation of fallout particles from a nuclear explosion. 

The remainder of the Fowler article is of great interest, but in detail that is beyond the scope of this encyclopedia. Topics covered by Fowler include early research on element synthesis stellar reaction rates from laboratory cross sections hydrogen burning in main-sequence stars and the solar neutrino problem synthesis of l3C and, 60 and... 

TECHNETIUM. [CAS 7440-26-8J. Chemical element symbol Tc, at. no. 43, at. wt. 98.906, penodic table group 7, mp 2l 72 ">C, bp 4877 TT, does not occur in nature. The present location of technetium in die penodic table was vacant for many years, during which time several claims to having found the element were made, but never confirmed. One such claimant termed the element masurium. Technetium has been detected in certain stars and this discovery mnst be resolved with current theories of stellar evolution and element synthesis.

Many methods have been developed for the preparation of carbides and nitrides, and these will be described in this section. General references are Schwarzkopf and Kieffer,24 Juza,25 Storms,26 Toth,27 Benesovsky, Kieffer and Ettmayer,28 Santhanam,29 and Stoll and Santhanam.30 Kosolapova31 and Frad32 provide a detailed description of the element-by-element synthesis of carbides, covering the period prior to 1971. 

Recall the reciprocity between matter and curvature, implied by the theory of general relativity, to argue that the high-pressure condition at Z/N = 1 corresponds to extreme curvature of space-time caused by massive objects such as quasars, and the like. The argument implies that the Schrodinger solution is valid in empty, flat euclidean space-time, that Z/N = r corresponds to the real world, Z/N = 1 occurs in massive galactic objects where elemental synthesis happens, and Z/N > 1 implies infinite curvature at a space-time singularity. 

Earlier speculations about the effect of the curvature of space on elemental synthesis and the stability of nuclides (2.4.1) are consistent with the interface model. The absolute curvature of the closed double cover of projective space, and the Hubble radius of the universe, together define the golden mean as a universal shape factor [233], characteristic of intergalactic space. This factor regulates the proton neutron ratio of stable nuclides and the detail of elemental periodicity. The self-similarity between material structures at different levels of size, such as elementary particles, atomic nuclei, chemical... 

The abundances in the Earth s crust of both the d-block transition metals and the f-block inner transition metals vary considerably, as shown in Table 1.2. Iron is the most common of the transition metals (6.30% by mass of the crustal rocks) and this reflects the high yield of iron from element synthesis reactions in stellar supernovae. Titanium (0.66%) and manganese (0.11%) are also quite abundant, but some of the heavier...
