Thanks for the fascinating discussion, gentlemen! A great account of the rigorous, often slow process that revolutionary new scientific theories must go through before gaining widespread acceptance.
I have a related question. Who was the first person to accurately calculate the trajectories of meteors, and successfully recover meteorites based on those calculations?

Was it Nininger? - (the other) Doug [email protected] ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
