Mineral gelişimi ve biyokimya hakkinda kisa not

Do¤al inorganik maddeler (mineraller ve kayaçlar) yer kürenin sınırlarını aşmaktadır. Bu nedenle, konusu yer küreyi araştırmak olan jeoloji disiplini, do¤al inorganik dünyanın sadece küçük bir bölümünü temsil edebilmektedir. Evrenin oluşumu ile ilgili belirli sorular, güneş sistemimizin ve yerkürede yaşamın evrimi ile ilişkilidir. Bu makalede, evrenin oluşumu (günümüzden yaklaşık 15 milyar yıl önceden bu yana) ile ilgili deneysel fizik ve do¤al bilimler alanında yürütülen son tartışmalar, minerallerin oluşumu (günümüzden 4 milyon yıl önce) ve yerküredeki yaşamın biyokimyasal görünümü (günümüzden en çok 3 milyon yıl önce) ile birlikte ele alınmış ve tartışılmıştır. Yer küre oluştu¤unda, günümüzde tanımlayabildi¤imiz 4400den fazla mineral bulunmuyordu. Kozmologlar, ilk elementin ancak büyük patlamadan yaklaşık on milyar yıl sonra ergime işlemleri yoluyla oluştu¤unu düşünmektedirler. Dünyasal ve/veya dünya dışı madde mineralojisi araştırmalarında yer küre üzerindeki mineral oluşumunun jeolojik evriminin araştırılması, astronomi, biyoloji, kimya ve di¤er deneysel do¤al bilimlere göre çok daha ilginç bir araç durumundadır.

A brief note on mineral evolution and biochemistry

The natural inorganic materials (minerals and rocks) exceed the limits of the Earth. Therefore, the geology, which is the study of the Earth, represents only a small part of the natural inorganic world. Certain questions about the genesis of the universe are related to the evolution of our solar system and the evolution of life on our planet. In this paper, recent contributions from experimental physical natural-sciences to the formation of the universe (about 15 billion BP) coupled with the occurrence of minerals (4 million years BP) and the biochemical appearance of life (not more than 3 million years) on the Earth are discussed. When Earth was formed, none of the more than 4,400 minerals we know today were existed. Cosmologists estimate that nearly ten billion years after the Big Bang the first elements produced by the melting process. The geological history of mineral evolution on the Earth is an interesting tool to study terrestrial and/or extraterrestrial mineralogy in regard to astronomy, biology, chemistry and other experimental natural sciences.
