Here's our latest video:
We tackle a potpourri of topics:
- Thunder ... Lightning ♫ & C-14
- How Old is the Earth?
- Tree Rings & Ammonites
- Norman Macbeth (Darwin Retried) & OMNI magazine
- Censorship
- George Bernard Shaw & more!
One
interesting paper in Nature from some
Japanese researchers last year showed that lightning can produce gamma rays
which can lead to the formation of Carbon-14.
Of course, this would require some revisions in radiocarbon dating which
does not consider this source. When was
the last time you dated some coal or a dino bone using the C-14 method? My prediction is that you will get thousands
of years and not millions.
