Scientist Realizes Important Flaw in Radioactive Dating

In beta decay, a neutron turns into a proton by emitting a beta particle, which is an electron (click for credit) As someone who has studied radioactivity in detail, I have always been a bit amused by the assertion that radioactive dating is a precise way to determine the age of an object. This false notion is often promoted when radioactive dates are listed with utterly unrealistic error bars. In this report, for example, we are told that using one radioactive dating technique, a lunar rock sample is 4,283 million years old, plus or minus 23 million years old. In other words, there is a 95% certainty that the age is somewhere between 4,283 + 23 million years and 4,283 – 23 million years. That’s just over half a percent error in something that is supposedly multiple billions of years old.

From the article:
“However, a recent paper by Dr. Robert B. Hayes has pointed out a problem with isochrons that has, until now, not been considered.”

This was the paper that Rob was telling me about when I bumped into him a few months ago at the nuclear conference.

So the heavier isotopes tend to congregate in the bottom of the gravity well?.................
And the conventional scientists will probably come back and complain that this is special pleading, that they understand the error cases, and they don’t use just one method.
Maybe. The field got a big black eye when it embraced catastrophic AGW. This went beyond what even the most secular theories had a right to posit. The older theories — that the earth was soon headed for an ice age — had better support.
Could God be too swift for us? In more than one way. General relativity already gives us a rationale for time dilatation. On which side of the parallel journey is the calendar kept? It matters. Grossly.
Thought this was about Match.com.
So there’s a statistical 0.5% error rate. What’s the problem?
Conflating particle physics with popular meteorology is ... strained.

General Relativity also gives us other artifacts of time dilation that would be grossly apparent were we in a sufficiently high-gravity or high-velocity region; we observe nothing of the kind.
With exactly whom was this meteorology popular?
It managed to worm its way into fields of other scientists, who ought to have known better. It served as a telltale indicator of where they were.
Her online picture looked great but she was old enough to be my gamma. Horrible situation for an alpha male like me.
God is the One who is moving fast in this picture. Let me know when you’ve plumbed heaven scientifically for these artifacts — the only thing we could know would be communications from heaven. Keep the calendar on His side and of course it will be shorter than ours. Even grossly shorter.
Read the article.
When an article starts out with some nobody challenging the foundations of well-established hard science, and the people bringing up the article conflate bizarre non-sequiturs with it having the obvious intention of dismissing plain reality with “but God!” (never considering that He actually _made_ the universe to work that way, and maybe they’re misinterpreting something), most people have learned to stop right there and not waste time reading some confused screed.
And when “this excerpt has numerous tells for crackpot pseudoscience, please tell me why I should bother with it” is promptly answered with a flurry of ad-hominem insults, then yeah it’s probably crackpot drivel.
