TitleLetter from Thomas Gold to Dr Peter Mezgar, Max-Planck Inst. fur Radioastronomie, Auf dem Hugel 69, 53 Bonn 1, West Germany
Date12 May 1978
DescriptionGold will visit Bonn once more, and give a talk in the nuclear physics institute on June 1. This letter is to say June 2 could be held free if Mezgar wished to invite him for another talk at MPI.

The subject Gold is most keen on at the present time is not radioastronomical, but the outgassing of the Earth - the relation to the atmosphere, to earthquakes, and the promise of virtually unlimited fuel supplies. He will speak about that at the university, but it is his experience that there is no overlap at all. He could also speak on the energy budget of the galaxy, which could be a more astronomical topic, but the former is by far the most exciting.

Gold is leaving Cornell on 25th May. he will be in Innsbruck, staying at the Lanserhof on May 30, 31.
