Genesis space-time

The only fundamental theory that considers the genesis of matter is the theory of general relativity. It is formulated in 4D space-time as a set of field equations,... 

The first few decades of space exploration went by without any MS better than m/Am 4 because understanding the solar wind flow, its density, its pressure, or its temperature did not require mass resolution. Not until 1984 did a space MS fly with a resolution of about 10 [10], and it was 1994 before that increased to 100 [11], Suddenly for the first time, the solar wind isotopes of carbon, oxygen, magnesium, silicon, and iron were known, and the models could be tested. Even then, space MS had difficulty measuring rare isotopes, so that it wasn t until 2005 that solar wind samples were returned to Earth inside ultra-pure silicon wafers (the ill-fated Genesis mission [12]) to determine the important triple ratios of ieO 170 lsO. 

HZ is defined as the orbital area around a star where a planet can sustain liquid water at the surface. Several studies have attempted to define the HZ as a function of stellar type (e.g. F, G, K, M dwarf stars) and time (see e.g. 46, 47, and references therein). The HZ is of interest because it is widely believed that liquid water is necessary for the genesis of (recognizable) life. The particular emphasis of the planned space missions is to search for signs of life on extrasolar Earth-like planets via spectroscopy. Atmospheric compounds such as O2, O3, N2O, CH4, and CH3CI are considered biomarkers, and their spectroscopic detection in a terrestrial-type atmosphere, particularly O2 or O3 found together with a reduced gas such as CH4, would suggest life (48, 49). Detection of CO2 would indicate that the planet is indeed a terrestrial-type planet... 

These physicochemical processes at the liquid/solid, gas/solid, and solid/solid interfaces during catalyst preparation and their related consequences for catalyst performance underline the importance to (i) fundamentally understand the distribution of metal-ion complexes in three dimensions within catalyst bodies and (ii) have molecular information on the nature of metal-ion complexes formed as a function of time and space during the elementary steps of catalyst preparation. This can be done by applying spectroscopy during the preparation of mm-sized catalyst bodies. In this way, the genesis of the active phase can be monitored and better understood. This chapter discusses the potential of different methods to provide these space-and time-resolved physicochemical insights. In a first part, an overview of both invasive and noninvasive methods will be presented. The second part deals with two showcases to illustrate the advantages of this approach. The chapter closes with a look into the future.
