A Concept of Energy, Embracing Earth’s Environmental Mechanisms

Robert Castle Kempton

Abstract

The universal force of attraction between all matter dominates Earth’s ‘environmental mechanisms’ through the Moon’s orbit and Man’s concept of gravitational forces, creating intricate relationships between energy flow and the planet’s ecosystems, such as photosynthesis, geothermal activity, biogeochemical movements and hydrological cycles. These dynamic reactions shape both the stability and evolution of the planet’s systems. The Moon’s gravitational pull regulates tidal movements, influencing marine ecosystems and coastal landscapes. Similarly, the intricate balances within biogeochemical cycles ensure the seamless transfer of nutrients between living organisms and the inert components of Earth's surface, sustaining life across the biosphere. The Oceans cover over 70% of Earth’s surface and are in perpetual motion due to earth’s natural environmental mechanisms, providing vast natural ‘energy storage’ reservoirs for major kinetic energy resources around the globe. The development of Man’s Science ‘fluid mechanics’ techniques, to harness this energy, will provide long-term sustainability for mankind. Human activities are now impacting on all major ecosystems and the biogeochemical cycles they influence, and urgently requires careful identification and analysis. This requires new international laws on Climate Change and other related issues causing severe harm to all matter on our planet. Man’s present approach to nature’s biogeochemical cycles for Earth’s ‘matter’ must be addressed, particularly related to present laws of Physics and Chemistry, and with reference to the modern framework for the Periodic Table.
