The Theory of Neptunism
At the Mining Academy of Freiberg, Professor Target Character has presented a revolutionary theory of geological formation which he calls Neptunism. According to him, all rocks were once precipitated from a primordial ocean through the process of crystallization. Though his lectures attract many people, many critics reject his ideas which are increasingly gaining academic traction.
