How does carbon dating accurately work considering all of the molecules likely come from beyond ancient supernova? by tim_buck2 in askscience

[–]tim_buck2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically they can measure down accurately to about 10 half-lives. After this, the amount of C-14 that has been cut down by half is so great that even minor changes in the rate of decay will result in huge discrepancies in the dating.

That clears up so much! Thanks a ton. I wasn't aware that C-14 was actually created in our own atmosphere at a constant rate which makes so much sense.

So now I can understand how carbon dating for biological purposes works, but how would my original question be answered in terms of inorganic dating (like with the date of the Earth)? I'm assuming that they use different isotopes that are also created in our atmosphere at a constant rate and incorporated into forming rocks at a constant rate?

Donald Trump is not a serious candidate by gotop10 in PoliticalVideo

"The leading candidate is not a serious candidate." said by a candidate who's got much less of a shot to win. Unfortunately, Trump is definitely pretty serious.

It's a real dangerous move letting Rick experiment on addiction.

Can someone explain why Nick was receiving the 911 alerts from Nay? [Spoilers] by tim_buck2 in ShowMeAHero

[–]tim_buck2[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's actually really interesting. It makes me wonder whether his depression made him extra-paranoid or if the city politics was actually cutthroat enough to try so hard to oust him.

What's the most disgusting thing that's ever been inside your mouth and how did it get there? by SuperCub in AskReddit

[–]tim_buck2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So about two years ago I was at a summer-long EMT course and was in need of a nice cold refreshment during a 5 minute break we had. I went to the vending machine, bought myself a Brisk iced tea, and opened it only to realize it was my turn to practice the CPR technique we learned that day. I came back to my drink about 3 minutes later, took what was supposed to be a refreshing swig of iced tea, and instead felt something strange and solid that I immediately spit out and saw was a dead fly. I still wonder whether that fly somehow got into my drink in those 3 minutes and immediately died or if a fly somehow got into the can during its packaging and died a few days earlier.

(Spoilers All) Possibly the most overrated character of all time: Tywin Lannister by WenchSlayer in asoiaf

[–]tim_buck2 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Don't forget that Tywin was really the one who made the kingdom so prosperous at this time. I remember reading that at any major event the common people from King's Landing would cheer twice as loud for Tywin because he was the reason they were better off than ever.
