IAPS 2013 - International Symposium on Planetary Sciences (IAPS2013)

The International Symposium on Planetary Sciences (IAPS2013) will be held at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, July 1-4, 2013, Shanghai, China, which brings together international scientists to present the latest results of research and development in planetary exploration and science. Topics include planetary geodesy, navigation, remote sensing, atmosphere, ionosphere/plasma physics, magnetic and gravity field, geomorphology, geophysics, geology, petrology, geochemistry, interior physics, Life & Astrobiology, Giant & Extrasolar Planets, etc.

Poster-Discussion Session: Imbalance of Nature in Space
Main Convener and Chair: Vladimir Kontar (USA).
Description of session: Any things in the Space are unique, unrepeatable, never returned back, etc. All of these are the features of Imbalance of Nature. In the space science are known a lot of phenomenon of the Imbalance of Nature which impossible exactly describe by the traditional balanced logic. We extremely need the New Imbalanced Logic for exactly describe the Nature as is. The Imbalanced Logic should be the main tool for a deeper understanding of nature and the real possibilities of humanity. Space Science was the cradle of the traditional balance of logic. Now Space Science should be the cradle of the new Imbalanced Logic. In this interdisciplinary session will be represent the hypothesis, research, fundamental generalizations and practical applications of the new knowledge of the Imbalance of Nature.
Free Open Oral Forum-Discussion and Brainstorm: ¡°Imbalance of Nature¡±
Main Convener and Chair: Vladimir Kontar (USA).
