Archive: We Were Wrong About Isochrons, Geologists Say

Isochron dating may result in a good fit, even though the age obtained is meaningless.

Geologists Were Wrong About Silt Transport by Rivers

New study "muddies the waters" about sediment transport by rivers, with important implications.

Experts Were Wrong About Fossil Deposition

They assumed how bones would sort in stream flow conditions. Then some scientists ran experiments.

Earth’s Core Is Fine-Tuned for Surface Habitability

New simulations of the Earth’s core indicate extremely precise conditions for its formation, exposing flaws in cosmological evolutionary theory.

Rethink Science

If scientists knew as much as they think they do, they wouldn't be rethinking so many things so often.

Activity in Jupiter Moons Defies Long Ages

New findings continue a running theme: the real solar system doesn't look like the expected solar system.

Science Findings Can Be Counter-Intuitive

It takes honesty and courage to report findings that don't make sense or go against "common knowledge."

Origin of Geomagnetism: Bumbling in the Dark Past

When did the Earth get its magnetic field? It's important because life depends on it. Watch MIT fumble and stumble over the question.

Earth’s Magnetic Field Decaying at an Alarming Rate

The biosphere depends on earth's magnetic field, but it has been decaying rapidly for 1500 years.

Will Mars InSight Bring Clear Vision?

Now that NASA's latest Mars lander has successfully deployed, what findings are worth watching?

Geophysics Not Rock Solid Science

With observation, instruments and models, you would think geophysics is hard science.

Stalactite Indicates Ultrafast Magnetic Reversals

Contrary to what geophysicists have claimed for decades, magnetic reversals may occur 'ridiculously quickly.' Or is confidence in experts ridiculous?

Darwinism as an All-Purpose Story Plot

Observations are just props. The play is, “The Evolution of Whatever” or “How Whatever Evolved.” Now playing in science media near you. As a play, Darwinism has two subplots: natural selection and sexual selection. With a little creative screenwriting, any observation in nature can be fit into either or both subplots, provided the perhapsimaybecouldness index […]

Late Heavy Bombardment Myth Is Dying

A favorite tale from the Apollo era, the so-called Late Heavy Bombardment, is being bombarded itself.

Facing Reality About Life on Other Planets: Geophysics

by Dr Henry Richter This is a continuation of my discussion on the requirements to allow life to exist on a planet elsewhere in the universe. My discussion moved from our position in the galaxy, our position in the solar system, and then focused on the earth, looking at the influence of our moon, our […]
