Читать книгу Economically and Environmentally Sustainable Enhanced Oil Recovery - M. R. Islam - Страница 17

We continue to be told carbon is the enemy, water is the source of contamination and sustainability hinges upon how remotely placed we are from the natural state of all resources (including sunlight and air). Otherwise, alarmists tell us that we are about to embark on an apocalyptical point of no return. Of course, by now we know water is the source of all sustainability (Islam, 2014), carbon is the most important ingredient for sustaining life (water being the source), and sunlight is the primary energy source alteration of which can onset ripples that can turn into a Tsunami (Khan and Islam, 2016; Islam and Khan, 2019).

A paradigm shift really means we cannot rely on any previous theory -at least the ones that started after the natural artificial bifurcation took place. It means; therefore, we cannot rely upon modern theory of light, atomic theory of mass, or the quantum theory of ‘everything’. Fortunately, the background work of deconstruction of current theories as well as reconstruction of dogma-free comprehensive theory of mass and energy was done by Islam (2014) and Khan and Islam (2016). So, we are perfectly capable of answering the question of this subsection. Chapter 3 presents the science behind water-petroleum cycle, oxygen cycle, carbon cycle, and delves into such radical topics, as the scientific difference between lightening (natural electricity) and electricity (AC or DC), chemicals from natural sources (both energy and mass) and artificial sources, etc.
