But, I'll try anything at this point.
I've seen Les MacPhie's document which compiled the carbon-dating results before Oak Island Tours Inc. took over, which is a fantastic resource. Since the Curse of Oak Island began airing, there have been many more scientific tests and the discovery of objects that have been scientifically dated, which were broadcast on the show. Is there somewhere that these dates and findings have been published for internet researchers to reference?
How did scientists from the 19th century or even early 20th century date ancient events, such as the Pharaoh Era of Ancient Egypt, the advent of Homo Sapiens in Europe, the advent of farming, etc.?
It's called Timber.
I want my novel's protagonist to leave a diary on the dying planet earth for some far in the future being to read. He needs to leave something for this future being to figure out when he, the last earthling, left. Given our recent carbon problems, and nuclear testing, can anyone suggest something suitable to leave?
I want to know how old some very old things are. I'm looking for accuracy +/- several thousand years.
Is this available locally?
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 71%. (I'm a bot)
> Strasser, who until 2015 was Assistant Professor for Sediment Dynamics at ETH Zurich and is now a Full Professor for Sediment Geology at the University of Innsbruck, took an international team there to study dynamic sediment remobilisation processes triggered by seismic activity.
> The resulting sediment layers can thus be used later to glean information about the history of earthquakes and the carbon cycle in the deep ocean.
> This method - measuring the amount of organic carbon as well as radioactive carbon in mineralised compounds - has long been a means of determining the age of individual sediment layers.
> The researchers applied the Ramped PyrOx measurement method for the first time in the dating of deep-ocean sediment layers.
> Thanks to these two innovative methods, the researchers could determine the relative age of organic matter in individual sediment layers with a high degree of precision.
> These places correspond to three historically documented yet hitherto partially imprecisely dated seismic events in the Japan Trench: the Tohoku earthquake in 2011, an unnamed earthquake in 1454, and the Sanriku earthquake in 869.

because it's botherin' me something fierce.
Gobekli Tepe is currently dated around 12,000 years old, but someone I know is in denial of this as they believe humanity was created around 6000 years ago (Biblical chronology believer). They assert that Gobekli Tepe (and all other sites that prove human existence) dated over 6000 years are not valid as they rely on carbon dating. I'm not an expert by any means, and would appreciate any sources that prove the age of historical sites 6000+ years that do not rely on carbon dating, or how Tepe is currently being dated. Thank you in advance.
Anybody know of any labs that work with the general public? Found a very heavy piece of wood, almost petrified, with iron in it. How would I go about dating something like this?
Does calibration mean that there are extensive time periods that we can't "see" because an uncalibrated value could map onto several calibrated times? And if so, is the calibration curve ever violent enough that calibrated values could be non-contiguous IE: The wood from this boat was grown either in 700~1100AD or in 200~120BC.
r/Christianity had a debate yesterday about whether or not Genesis was literally true and the Earth was created in 6 days.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Christianity/comments/p1pluz/the_claim_that_the_universe_was_made_in_seven/ is the full thread. The OP introduces it as a joke, but then proceeds to fully argue for a young earth in the comments.
Christ Himself has said that the account of genesis is real.
How do you decide what is metaphorical and what is meant literal
I am binge watching to fill in the gaps of what I missed the first time.
Eve’s wedding ring was made in 2000’s. She lost it and it was found in current time. It was carbon dated to 10000 BC.
How can this be? They are carbon dating an item that is at most 20 years old?
Hi - I'm a journalist researching an article about an archeological site in the Balkans, which used the "Conventional Radio Carbon Dating Service in Kiev" (c14.kiev.ua) for some sample evaluation. Has anyone here in Reddit-Land heard of and/or used this lab and, if so, can you comment on the quality of their results? Thanks, Michael -- editor@Cosmic-Soup.com
