Someone is looking for a grant. always my first assumption about "science" in the news. However, just because a scientist is pimping for federal money, it doesn't mean they are 100% off the mark. Merely suspect and worthy of close scrutiny.
Check the data! Always check the data!

I agree. It is impossible to date anything with any type of isotope unless you have something that you can prove was made at the date you are looking at. A million years, a billion years or 50 years... it does not make any difference unless you already have a sample that was also made at that time. This is all intellectual BS.

"It represents an experimental triumph and a milestone in this field," says Brian Fields, an astrophysicist from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He argues that the result marks the birth of a completely new area of research, which he calls "supernova archaeology" BS is right.....its called Grant Trolling.
