41. Shroud Of Turin Story Guide To The Facts 2007
    A decade later, when three radiocarbon dating laboratories, using carbon 14 dating, supposedly proved the Shroud of Turin was medieval, I didn’t notice.  
    http://www.shroudstory.com/
    
    Extractions: The Shroud of Turin images may not be the direct result of a miracle, at least not in a traditional sense of the word. But they are not manmade either. These seem to be the contradictory conclusions from an article in the peer-reviewed, scientific Journal of Optics (April 14, 2004) of the Institute of Physics in London. Using mathematical image enhancement technology, Giulio Fanti and Roberto Maggiolo, researchers at the University of Padua in Italy, discovered a faint image of a second face on the back of the Shroud of Turin. This has since been confirmed with other software. The implications are explosive and exciting. Frank Tribbe writes: ' we know this Shroud with its images is not a phony, a fake, a fraud, an imitation, a copy, to any degree or in any respect; it was not made in the past thousand years; a fourteenth-century origin is virtually impossible. Science still does not know how the images were 'imprinted' on the Shroud." I must admit, with some embarrassment, that until a few years ago I knew nothing about the Shroud of Turin. And when I first did read about it, while on a flight to Miami, I laughed out loud, something I rarely do alone in the company of strangers.

    Extractions: (1) Bristlecone Pine Dating "The third Thera Conference [Athens 1990] turned into a battleground between archaeology and the newer disciplines of dendrochronology and radiocarbon (C14) dating. Findings from these fields were thrown into the ring, and their supporters argued strongly that the eruption was to be dated more than a hundred years earlier to 1628/7 B.C. - J. V. Luce, "The Changing Face of the Thera Problem" "In several locations of the western United States lives the oldest known living thing on Earth: this is the Bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva). In one location at Campito Mountain in the White Mountains of California, living trees and deadwood pieces provide an accurate year-by-year tree ring sequence back to 3435 BC, a continuous record for five and one-half thousand years! "V. C. LaMarche and Katherine Hirsckboeck have recently reported, in the magazine Nature, on a study of the frost damage in the rings of the Bristlecone pine. In the recent tree-ring records, they find a remarkable correlation between frost damage rings and the known date of large eruptions. For example, in the past 100 years, there have been four climactically important events: Krakatoa (1883), Pelee, Soufriere (1902), Katami (1912), and Agung (1963). In each case, a ring of frost damage was found and always in the same year if the eruption was early in the year or, otherwise, the next year. The frost ring never preceded the volcanic event, which seems to prove that the frost rings are the result of the eruption.

    Extractions: 1) Radiocarbon (14C) dating [1,2] is widely used to determine the ages of samples that are less than approximately 50,000 years old. Natural radiocarbon is mainly formed in Earth's stratosphere through the interaction of neutrons produced by cosmic rays with 14-nitrogen. However, the rate of radiocarbon production is not constant [3], nor is its partitioning among the atmosphere, terrestrial biosphere, and oceans. After local corrections [4], radiocarbon ages must therefore be calibrated to obtain ages on an absolute time scale. For decades, the radiocarbon community has adopted international calibration standards, most recently IntCal98. There are inherent limitations faced when using radiocarbon dates to derive calendar ages. 2) From modern day to 11,800 years ago, IntCal98 is based on sets of tree-ring chronologies that each cover several thousand years and together provide an annually resolved, nearly absolute time frame. These data set a quality standard against which other proposed calibration datasets can be judged. Prior to 11,800 years ago, IntCal98 is based on marine data and contains additional assumptions and uncertainties associated with the translation of marine data into atmospheric radiocarbon values.

This new research could answer the argument amongst experts about the age of Bronze Age cultures in the Aegean region – when a major volcanic eruption occurred. For archaeologists, this eruption is a key marker for assessing the civilisations of ancient Greece, Egypt and Cyprus, but has been the subject of debate for decades.

    Extractions: Virtually every life form on earth takes in isotopes of carbon, including C and C, for growth and food. The relative amount of carbon isotopes in the cells differs with each plant and animal because of a process called fractionation . Isotopic fractionation occurs when the absorption of one isotope is favoured over another, often because of the energy differences between isotopes. For instance, during photosynthesis the isotope C is preferred over C. This leaves the plant cells with less C for each atom of C than in the atmosphere. When this occurs, we say the plant tissue is depleted in C and enriched in C. The table below shows some of the fractionation effects for various plants and animals. d C indicates the difference between the sample's C/ C ratio and that of a standard. When the value is negative, it means that the isotope C is depleted compared to the standard. The more negative it is, the more fractionation has occurred. The fractionation values for d C is twice that of d C. Most radiocarbon labs assume

    Extractions: Sherri L. Hilgeman and Mark R. Schurr (Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University, Bloomington) Fifteen radiocarbon samples from the Angel site and an additional ten samples from smaller Angel phase sites have been assayed over a number of years (Figure l). Collectively, they suggest a temporal span for the phase of about 400 years, from AD 1050 to 1450. As a part of our continuing research interests, we have been re-evaluating the extant dates for the Angel site and phase as well as those for Mississippian sites in the Kincaid vicinity in Illinois. The general result of this resurvey is the realization that, typically, one-third to one-half of the radiocarbon assays do not appear to accurately date the archaeological context from which they were recovered. In the case of the Mississippian period occupations of the lower Ohio Valley, this observation means that the radiocarbon dates do not fit well with the temporal ranges established for the ceramic chronology, itself based on valley-wide and regional trends. The initial radiocarbon dates from the Angel site were among the first samples run by the University of Michigan laboratory. The intent was to place the site in time. Three dates (of the six charcoal and mussel shell samples assayed) are generally accepted; that is, they fall within the expected span of a Mississippian period site. Two of these acceptable dates (M-5 and M-7) cannot be evaluated further because the samples were not associated with any artifactual material.

    Extractions: because it isnt always right there awesome blueprint ca christianity ... work January 2008 December 2007 November 2007 October 2007 ... January 11, 2008 Carbon has a weight of twelve atomic mass units (AMU’s), and is the building block of all organic matter (plants and animals). A small percentage of carbon atoms have an atomic weight of 14 AMU’s. This is carbon-14. Carbon-14 is an unstable, radioactive isotope of carbon 12. For every one trillion carbon-12 atoms, you will find one carbon-14 atom. Carbon-14 is made when cosmic rays knock neutrons out of atomic nuclei in the upper atmosphere. These displaced neutrons, now moving fast, hit ordinary nitrogen ( N) at lower altitudes, converting it into C. Unlike common carbon ( C), C is unstable and slowly decays, changing it back to nitrogen and releasing energy. This instability makes it radioactive. Plants utilize, or “breath in” carbon dioxide, then ultimately release oxygen for animals to inhale. The carbon-14 dioxide is utilized by plants in the same way normal carbon dioxide is. This carbon-14 dioxide then ends up in humans and other animals as it moves up the food chain.
