“…Referring to four examplesthe theory of gravity, electrodynamics, cosmology, and turbulence -I tried to show that seismology, as a part of geophysics, can and should draw inspiration from even such distant fields of physics. I think that field theory, statistical physics, and astrophysics, along with geophysical observations, were the main inspiration and starting point for Roman Teisseyre's considerations reflected in his books and articles (Teisseyre and Teisseyre-Jeleńska 2014). Among these inspirations, the continuum dislocation theory, briefly discussed in the appendix, played a special role.…”
