EVIDENCE OF A YOUNG WORLD (Part 5)
Fossil radioactivity shortens geologic ‘ages’ to a few years.
-Radiohalos are rings of color formed around microscopic bits of radioactive minerals in rock crystals. They are fossil evidence of radioactive decay*. (source: Gentry, R.V., ‘Radioactive halos’, Annual Review of Nuclear Science 23 [1973] 347–362) ‘Squashed’ Polonium-210 radiohalos indicate that Jurassic, Triassic, and Eocene formations in the Colorado plateau were deposited within months of one another, not hundreds of millions of years apart as required by the conventional time scale*. (source: Gentry, R.V. et al., ‘Radiohalos in coalified wood: new evidence relating to time of uranium introduction and coalification’, Science 194 [15 Oct. 1976] 315–318) ‘Orphan’ Polonium-218 radiohalos, having no evidence of their mother elements, imply either instant creation or drastic changes in radioactivity decay rates*. (source: Gentry, R. V., ‘Radiohalos in a Radiochronological and cosmological perspective’, Science 184 [5 Apr. 1974] 62–66)
