Topografía subterránea para minería y obras

A ojos de cualquiera, incluso de expertos, parecería increíble que más de 14 mil años de historia planetaria se condensaran en tan solo 90 cm de profundidad, y junto con ello, se constatara la convivencia de Homo sapiens con la megafauna del Pleistoceno, además de rastros de eventos climáticos sorprendentes con origen extraterrestre.

And although the universe is full of weird things that don't make any sense, Cham and Whiteson make a case that the questions we can't answer are as interesting as the ones we can, and they invite...
