512. Scientific Dating Problems: The Radiometric Dating Of Earth's Rocks [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1990s Geochronologists say pre-1980 dates are not too reliable but claim latest methods - e.g . zircons, Lu-Hf & Re-Os, and 40Ar-39Ar isochrons - give pinpoint accuracy. An Outline of Radioactive Decay Table 2a shows the decay chain for 23892U. (92 is the atomic number A which represents the positive charge on the nucleus and defines the chemical element; 238 is the nuclear mass number N.) In alpha decay the nucleus emits an alpha particle comprising two protons and two neutrons (the nucleus of a helium atom) - 2 units of charge and 4 units of mass - so 23892U transmutes to 23490Th. In beta decay, the nucleus loses an electron with negligible mass ...
513. Chaldean Account of Genesis [Books]
... when Nineveh was destroyed, and many of them were cracked and scorched by the heat at the burning of the palace. Subsequently the ruins were turned over in search of treasure, and the tablets still further broken; and then, to complete their ruin, the rain, every spring soaking through the ground, saturates them with water containing chemicals, and these chemicals form crystals in every available crack. The growth of the crystals further splits the tablets, some of them being literally shivered. Some idea of the mutilated condition of the Assynan tablets, and of the work of restoring a single text, will be gained from the engraving below, which exhibits the present appearance of ...

515. Pillars of Straw [Journals] [Aeon]
... much as 126 tons. (Photograph by the author.) The porphyry mentioned in association with the stones of Ollantaytambo is a volcanic rock which is composed of large crystals imbedded in a finer matrix. Besides South America, it was also quarried and carved into statues by the ancient Egyptians and, later, by the Romans. Porphyries are chemically related to both granite and diorite, [76] the two main rocks stressed by Ginenthal in the construction of the Egyptian pyramids. Porphyry, however, was not the only type of stone used by the Incas in their monumental buildings. Granite itself was used at Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu, Cuzco, as well as elsewhere. [ ...
516. Recent Developments In Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Mediterranean are too Early' (pp. 225-237). Keenan has also stepped into the debate over whether or not ash particles in Greenland ice cores, at an ice core date of c. 1645BC, are proven to be from Thera (C &CR 2002:1 p. 14). According to Keenan the statistics on the chemical compositions of ash particles show that they are not Theran (forthcoming in Synchronisation of Civilisations in the Eastern Mediterranean 2). Whilst on Thera, the inevitable dispute between Egyptologists and scientific' daters has begun to erupt more violently in the form of an attack by Prof. Kitchen on Sturt Manning, the leading advocate of a 17th century ...
517. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ideas have been proved wrong and he has done little to substantiate the remainder. In view of this, he is not to be taken seriously. Yet, a few months earlier, Abelson was proclaiming the role of ideas in a Science editorial: The synthesis of xenon tetraflouride and related compounds... makes necessary the revision of many chemistry textbooks...For perhaps 15 years, at least a million scientists all over the world have been blind to a potential opportunity to make this important discovery. All that was required to overthrow a respectable and entrenched dogma was a few hours of effort and a germ of scepticism. Our intuition tells us that this is just one ...
518. The Levites and the Revolts [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Exceptions from their control were Aaron, of course, and Aaron's son, Eleazer, subsequently High Priest. The reason is given in one place "that there may be no plague among the people of Israel in case the people of Israel should come near the sanctuary."[14] Here the intent to avoid a dew of dangerous chemicals and radiation seems clear. The plagues would be widespread outbursts of skin lesions and sores (mistakenly called leprosy), but would include plagues of vomiting, diarrhea and eye diseases, all of which occur with radiation poisoning. These are related in turn to the plagues of Egypt preceding the Exodus, when the red dust poisoned the water ...
519. Paradigm Lost? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Furthermore, Sagan and Druyan assume that, however punctuational the overall pattern, progress always comes in small steps, with natural selection being involved in every one: By painstaking, small steps, through the passage of immense vistas of geological time, via the deaths of innumerable slightly maladapted organisms, uncomplaining and unlamented, life - in its interior chemistry, external form, and menu of available behaviour - become increasingly complex and capable. These changes, of course, are reflected in (indeed, caused by) a corresponding elaboration and sophistication of the messages written .. . down there at the level of the gene. This assumption that every evolutionary change is adaptive is disputed by ...
