Quoting: Golu hbk BS This dating thing is fucking insane. C14 only works for a few thousand years, apparently. How the hell can someone date some artifact to 300 million years? |

Jaid0gz User ID: 17795271 Australia 01/20/2013 09:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is indeed a very unique case. From my understanding, the c-14 analysis on a bit of coal will be much more accurate than that of preserved organic material. That is because the only elemental constituents are c-12, c-13 and c-14, mixed with smaller trace elements. Because there is a much larger deposit of these isotopes, the proportion will be much larger. Think of it this way, would a bit of wood of equal weight contain more or less c-14 than a solid block of coal? Klaus Dona needs to suss it out :) |

Tooth-wheel does sound as if its been said by a dutch person, cog-wheel or gear would have sufficed. Interesting non the least.

It only shows a picture of an iodine crystal swiped from Wikipedia. I found an actual working time/space travel device. I can prove it. Here is a picture of of a maple tree. |

Quoting: Golu hbk BS This dating thing is fucking insane. C14 only works for a few thousand years, apparently. How the hell can someone date some artifact to 300 million years? Usually, dating "millions of years old" artifacts is usually done by geology strada. If the strada is known to be two hundred millions years old, and an artifact was found in said strada, then, chances are that the artifact would be somewhere around two hundred million years old. There are other ways, such as checking the direction of the rock crystals in the strada. The crystals would be alined with the magnetic poles. Since the poles can be traced back for million and millions of years, dating can be fairly accurate. |

So there will bi another civilization after us digging and finding the remnants of a shovel, and say "look, or predecessors used tools". Just my lazy opinion. |

Ostria1 User ID: 29325791 Greece 01/20/2013 11:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | tried to find the location and more info Chernogorsk, also spelled Černogorsk, city, Khakassia republic, south-central Russia, situated just west of the port of Podkunino on the Yenisey River. The city is the centre of mining in the Minusinsk coal basin, which has been in operation since before 1917. Consumer-goods industries are also important. Chernogorsk became a city in 1936. A mining college is located there. Pop. (2006 est.) 73,187. And of course i run into a game (not sure what kind of) arma/dayz and rpg using this name a map (move north of Abakan and a bit to the west) to find Chernogorsk [link to mapcarta.com] eg if you zoom north west of Chernogorsk you will see a city called Sorsk..if you zoom there you will see a black lake with buildings and such inside the "white rocky area".. it just looks interesting Ostria |
