This piece did pique my interest and thus, because of the basic qualities that the solid carbon block seemed to possess, I decided to look further into what was unique in past carbon based formulations and their uses versus today’s carbon based formulations and their applications.
Being an astronomer, after much thought, I decided that the best source of information might reside in some previous astronomical files that were published many years ago.
It seems that in the years from 1890 to 1930 there were many instances when planetary movements were inconsistant with the generally accepted movements of the planets at the time. And a by product from that inconsistent planet movement was debris. This debris was rained down upon us in the form of carbon differential blocking, which until that time had never been validated before.
This carbon blocking substance was unique in being generally available only in Los Angeles and having the name Peerless emblazoned on its side. This was at the time, a huge astronomical finding as the only previously discovered carbon blocks had Leno emblazoned on them.
I hope this helps.
