Abstract

Egon Bach cites numerous accounts of swiftly moving, glowing balls occurring in conjunction with volcanic activity. He calls these objects ?gorgons,? deducing that they originate from pockets of uncommon gases which originate inside volcanoes, under conditions of great temperatures and pressures. Such extremes of environment, perhaps 10,000 atmospheres of pressure and 1000 degrees Celsius, Bach conjectures, foster the creation of new states of matter. The new state he calls gorgonic matter.
