The record is particularly informative for the most recent 2 million to 5 million years, during which major fluctuations in global climatehave occurred. Successive ice ages can be traced by the relative scarcity or abundance of the shells of warm-water and cold-water diatoms in various layers of asedimen...

Buddhism.
Although never actually denying the existence of the gods, Buddhism denies them any special role. Their lives in heaven are long and pleasurable, but they are in thesame predicament as other creatures, being subject eventually to death and further rebirth in lower states of existence. They are not creators of the universe or incontrol of human destiny, and Buddhism denies the value of prayer and sacrifice to them. Of the possible modes of rebirth, human existence is preferable, because thedeitie...

Jupiter (planet) - astronomy.
Beneath the supercritical fluid zone, the pressure reaches 3 million Earth atmospheres. At this depth, the atoms collide so frequently and violently that the hydrogenatoms are ionized—that is, the negatively charged electrons are stripped away from the positively charged protons of the hydrogen nuclei. This ionization results in asea of electrically charged particles that resembles a liquid metal and gives rise to Jupiter’s magnetic field. This liquid metallic hydrogen zone is 30,000 to 40,000 k...

À l'extrémité occidentale de l'Eurasie, la France occupe une
position charnière entre l'Europe du Nord et l'Europe du Sud.

Martin Heidegger: les relations de l'homme à l'être
On sera sans doute tenté de croire que ce programme reprend des considérations qui sont à la base des doctrinesclassiques de la connaissance et qu'ainsi il entreprend fort tôt de composer avec les exigences révolutionnaires qu'ilénonce d'autre part. Ces reproches ou ces objections seraient injustes. Car la différence de point de vue entre une" théorie de la connaissance " entendue comme fondement de toute philosophie et l'idée d'une analytiqueexistentiale comme porte d'entrée de l'onto...

« Est-ce dans la solitude que l'on prend conscience ? »
s'extraire de son point de vue, personne n'est là pour lui exposer une autre subjectivité. Ainsi une fois achevée, la barque est trop lourde pour être tirée jusqu'à l'eau. Cet argument peut être nuancé si la solitude est voulue avec l’exemple des ermites qui s'isole volontairement, ils sont à la recherche ou à l'écoute de vérités supérieures ou de principes essentiels. Ainsi ils sont conscients du monde qu’ils ont laissé mais voue leur vie au culte. Donc la solitude n’est pas la cl...

III GAUGES The gauge of track is the distance between the inner edges of the rails at points 1.59 cm (0.626 in) below the top of the heads. In the United States, Canada, theUnited Kingdom, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, and much of continental Europe, the standard gauge is 143.51 cm (56.5 in). Why this measurement became the standard isa matter of speculation. Probably the tradition is inherited from early tramroads built to accommodate wagons with axles 1.5 m (5 ft) long; some of the early edge rail...

Les Paradis Artificiels
À J. G. F. Ma chère amie, Le bon sens nous dit que les choses de la terre n'existent que bien peu, que la vraie réalité n'est que dans les rêves. Pour digérer le bonheur naturel, comme l'artificiel, il faut d'abord avoir le courage de l'avaler, et ceux qui mériteraient peut-être le bonheur sont justement ceux-là à qui la félicité, telle que la conçoivent les mortels, a toujours fait l'effet d'un vomitif. A des esprits niais il paraîtra singulier, et même impertinent, qu'un tableau de voluptés a...
