Jesus, need me to hack into someone’s computer and multiply something by a constant, err, I mean renormalize anything for you?
I might take you up on that…dang carbon-14!!
it’s not as bad as I thought….but the email quoted above was terse enough to make me worry that my whole disseration was collapsing like a house of cards (which is what can happen when you involve geochronologists!)
Yes, the geochronologist is the unreliable cousin of the rock-solid thermochronologist. They should all have warning stickers.
