... old wood found at Meadowcroft rock shelter in Pennsylvania could reflect trees that did not grow there during the Ice Age. And how do they explain the tall trees in the tundra found with mammoths dated to the Ice Age when the palynologists proved no trees grew there at that time? After all, dendrochronology essentially confirms its findings by utilization of radiocarbon. As has been shown above, radiocarbon dating is fraught with problems and outright manipulations that indicate it is not as reliable as assumed. Not to admit this possibility of error in tree rings, dating based on radiocarbon confirmation is simply unscientific. As was pointed out by T. Pecora and Meyer Rubin of the U. S. ...

... dated to have occurred between 2500 to 5000 years ago. This will be published not a year hence, not in a different journal, not even by a different author, nor even in a different article. In the very same article by R. T. Walcott, we find on p. 9: A world "Map of radiocarbon dated specimens in the time range 2500-5000 years BP; the triangles are land derived peats now found below sea level; the dots are shells now found above sea level." While Walcott considers them to be due to "coastal uplift and tilting", looking at their distribution, one cannot help but think of axial shift as a ...

285. Letters [Journals] [Pensee]
... stalagmite which is deposited over a ten-year period. It is rarely more than a thickness of 0.010 inch. The "soda straw" stalactites shown in your picture grow somewhat faster under natural conditions, perhaps close to an inch a year, and would not be suitable examples for Asimov's argument either. Cave formations can be dated by radiocarbon methods because of the way atmospheric CO2 exchanged with carbonate CO2 during solution and deposition. Typical measurements for the outer inch or two of large cave formations show ages up to thirty thousand years. Scientists will also be turned off by the unquestioning zeal with which Velikovsky's supporters assemble miscellaneous press reports and the like to confirm his predictions. While ...
286. "Extra-Scientific" Dimensions of Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , experimental design, and various assumptions whereby they are produced, the challenge to certain empirical results is an important aspect of scientific debates. In this respect one need go no further than Velikovsky's own response to W. T. PLUMMER's article which purported to offer evidence falsifying the notion of hydrocarbons in Venus' atmosphere, or Velikovsky's criticisms of radiocarbon dating. In the first case, Velikovsky pointed to the fact that Plummer's alleged test for hydrocarbons was inconclusive because Plummer had made certain incorrect assumptions concerning Velikovsky's original statements [22]. In the second instance mentioned above, Velikovsky argued that radiocarbon dating was based on the uniformitarian premise that the influx of cosmic rays had not been subject ...
287. The Inconstant Sun [Journals] [Kronos]
... planet. When the Sun is active and the solar wind is strong, it shields us from cosmic rays from interstellar space. But when the Sun is quiet and the solar wind is weak, these cosmic rays penetrate the atmosphere in great quantities. There, they can react with nitrogen atoms to make atoms of the isotope carbon-14, the radiocarbon so useful in dating samples of old trees and other vegetation. Tree rings can be dated accurately simply by counting the layers of wood in a sample, and there are many trees around that are three or four centuries old. Each ring contains carbon (wood) which includes a proportion of carbon-14 depending on the age of the ring ...
... not Sagan. After learning about the discovery of radio noise from Jupiter, Albert Einstein was so impressed that he asked Velikovsky how he could help further his research. Einstein said, "Which experiment would you like to have performed?" Einstein was very emphatic in his desire to help [Velikovsky]. Velikovsky asked to have ancient relics radiocarbon dated. A few days later, however, Einstein died. Einstein's secretary though in fulfilment of his wish, a letter went from his home after his death to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with the request that Egyptian relics be submitted for radiocarbon analysis. 22 Whatever could be the matter with Einstein? Hadn't he realized as Sagan stated ...

Radiocarbon dates for the years involved require adjustments of serious consequence, as Suess and others have disclosed. The prevailing view that the Exodus was a gambol of truant slaves or a return of some bedouins to their ancestral desert is absurd and useful to divert attention from how bad conditions really were. The Jews were operating in the middle of catastrophe ...

... helium escaping from the Earth's crust at a known rate and escaping into outer space at a known rate "prove" that the present atmosphere cannot be more than 100,000 years old. See "Where is the earth's radiogenic helium?," _Nature_, vol. 177 (1957), p. 215. Also, radiocarbon is being produced in the stratosphere at a rate TWENTY FIVE PERCENT discrepant with its well-measured absorption into the hydrosphere, lithosphere & biosphere; Cook once showed me correspondence that he had with Willard Libby over 25 years wherein Libby finally admitted he was wrong, the discrepancy is REAL and cannot be ignored. The deduction is that the Earth's atmosphere ...
