Carbon Dating, Cold Fusion, and a Curve Ball e-bog

Paleontologists and geologists are interested in the ages of fossils, rocks,and minerals, from which they deduce the ages of geologic strata in theGeologic Column. Scientists make use of radioactive dating methods, such asthe radioactive decays of carbon 14, uranium 238, and thorium 232 in fossilsand minerals. Accurate age determinations depend on knowing the rate of theradioactive emissions and the relative amounts of initial and productelements in the decay series. However, if an interfering nuclear change tookplace earlier, the perceived age of the earth deposit would have to bewrong. In 1989, the discovery of cold fusion-the fusion of hydrogen to make heliumand energy inside metal electrodes at room temperature-was announced by Drs. Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons at the University of Utah. Soon after,cold fusion research also revealed that nuclear transmutations, forming manynew elements, occur liberally. Even purposely-added radioactive uranium andthorium in cold fusion-type cells resulted in transmutations, and thedisappearance of up to 95 percent of the radioactivity in hours or minutes. In addition, special water pumps, invented in America and Europe, werediscovered to generate "e;excess heat"e; and possible nuclear effects byintensely agitating water and creating "e;cavitation bubbles."e;In Carbon Dating, Cold Fusion, and a Curve Ball, the author postulatesinterfering nuclear (element) changes occurring in the Earth, and proposesthat extensive element transmutations occurred from intense hydrodynamicsduring the Flood of Noah (Genesis 6-8). If so, it is conceivable muchalteration of radioactive elements took place, rendering unreliable theradioactive dating results in most analyses done today. A relatively simpletest of this theory is outlined. The test would use a piece of bismuthmetal, a tank of water, and a boat's outboard motor. The book is written for the non-scientist, but those trained in the physicalsciences or engineering are invited to examine the new hypothesis of Earth'selement transmutations and the consequential alteration of dating earthmaterial by radioactive elements.
