Request for Carbon-14 Dating explanation

Very logical and probably original. I am anxious to see some of the results or imputs from others. There is a point that I would like to make. There have been tremendous solar flares. No one knows the intensity of these flares in millenia past. But there has been a chart published for recent measurable solar history. I don't have it in front of me, but one solar flare on Feb 23, 1956 produced as much carbon 14 in a few hours as in a whole year of average cosmic radiation. Input/output may not be steady even over long periods of time. There are also other factors that can change the ratios such as past sea levels.It is true that most creationists would be pleased with your results if they seemed correct. I am a believer in Gen creation. No where in the record can I come up with thier model of a young earth, and I believe every word of Gen ch 1-3. Nevertheless, your novel aproach is just that. Thank you for your expansion of thought.rickroseThis message has been edited by Rick Rose, 05-11-2004 10:28 PM

Ned, I was merely replying to the mathamatical model of post 57. Message 57His model for a young atmosphere, as he stated could only work like an anuity if the model is as stable as an anuity. I was merely pointing out that radiocarbon input output is not stable for the purpose of replying to his model. Hence his calculation of a 13,600 yr atmosphere would be hard pressed.rickroseThis message has been edited by Rick Rose, 05-11-2004 11:28 PMThis message has been edited by Rick Rose, 05-11-2004 11:29 PM

You criticize the thought that sea levels can alter c-14 constants. I know that I have a lot of study to do, but so do you. The ocean is earths greatest carbon 12 reservior. Altering It's volume can alter the syncronization of our radioactive clock. This issue goes back as far as the uppsalla conference. I'm suprised you haven't stumbled upon it by now.How about fluctuations in earths magnetic field. As the field intensifies, fewer cosmic rays penetrate atmosphere, lowering c-14 production. As the field weakens the opposite occurs - more c-14. I'm quite sure all these subjects have been discussed on evc.Ned, follow the thread back to 57. See that I was merely responding to something totally different than you assumed -- lighten your load.rickrose

Sorry, I responded without seeing that you jumped.good nights restrickrose

Message 47RAZD, your response is: I just read those articles sited in your links and the one about a year without a summer, and they do not adress the mechanisms of dendrochronology calibration. How about a discussion the a-z of calibration. It's just not to be found.rickroseThis message has been edited by Rick Rose, 05-12-2004 12:56 AM

I do appreciate the time you took to respond to such a novice. I am trying to find a book about the radiocarbon/dendrochronology curve. I prefer books over web sites as I can follow the author at my leasure. I will look up your posted web sites.rickrose
