Re: the usual idiocy from some evos
Hi Percy,
One quick correction to your calculation. Isotopic deviations are reported as parts per thousand deviation from a standard. So a deviation of 25 parts per thousand actually corresponds to:
25 = 1000*{(15N/14N)sample - (15N/14N)standard}/(15N/14N)standard
which, when you calculate through, gives an enrichment of 15N of 0.01%, to a total abundance of 0.376% 15N.
This is mainly being nitpicky, but illustrates the point you make even moreso than before.
15N levels of 2% have been found in some interstellar grain material, but they're exceedingly rare.
