Cheers!! It's one I'd only thought of about 6 weeks back. It dawned on me that radioactive decay is relative to the Hubble Constant, which isn't constant, and therefore, unreliable. Yet we rely on it. I think it's a very handy thing, though, don't get me wrong...but it ain't Gospel. Actually, it's probably about as reliable as any of the Gospels. ;-) > On 8 Feb, 16:09, Pat <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > On 8 Feb, 14:40, Errol <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On Feb 8, 3:14 pm, Pat <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Would you like to name a few specifics, here?
