COLD CASE CARBON 14


















Knowing I’m a sucker for both crime and weird science, our pal HCB (may his initials be blessed) sent me over the following from Fox of all places.…

“Former U.S. nuclear weapons titan Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is applying its bomb know-how to help solve police cold cases. Lawrence Livermore was established in the Cold War to advance American nuclear weapons. The lab was responsible for many pivotal advances, from thermonuclear missile warheads for submarines to developing the first high-yield warheads small enough to be carried in bulk on a ballistic missile. Now the national lab is applying its expertise in nuclear "bomb pulse" radiocarbon analysis to help solve cold cases…and have created a new way to figure out ages and birth dates on those cases  The new approach, combining Livermore’s bomb know-how with new anthropological analysis and forensic DNA techniques, has already yielded results.” Click here for all.

  1. As long as you linked to the Fox site (?!?) why not the mastubation tutorial story on the page?

  3. "During the Cold War, above-ground nuclear weapons testing led to a marked escalation in global carbon-14 levels, from 1955 through 1963."

    It explains so much. I think it's akin to the Mighty Sparrow song, Music and Rhythm, where the Sparrow is saturated with musical radiation.
