    Nobody cares what you think is likely unless you can argue why. There is a lot of non-cosmic radiation coming from magma and rocks (we've measured both), and we know that the radiation is due to the same processes that we see in the lab operating at the same rate we see in the lab, because direct measurements have shown us so.
    Measurements have been simply assumptions, because the transmuting is not proven in the rock. It is awfully interesting that the bad assumptions start with Uranium.

Real scientists have been looking for ways to increase decay rates for over a hundred years, and they have found very few examples, none of which are relevant to radiometric dating. There are excellent theoretical reasons, also, for no significant change in decay rates under terrestrial conditions.

      No radioactive isotope decay is increased noticeably in any terrestrial conditions or in laboratory simulations off terrestrial conditions. If you define "incineration" as "heating the Earth into it's a cloud of plasma" then there are a very few radioactive isotopes that decay rapidly under those conditions, and only one is used in radiometric dating (87Rb). Since Rb-Sr dates agree with dates obtained from other isotopes that are not subject to such acceleration, therefore there was no such acceleration. Oh, and thee is one more tiny detail: the Earth is not a cloud of plasma. Have you noticed that?
      Magma is an excellent suspect. It is hot, has more electron-holes than most matter, and is pressurized slowing transmuting while at the same time facilitating it. Are you sure you aren't confusing Sr-90 with Rb-Sr-87?

          I didn't say the ground produced it.

            Do you use differing frequencies to detect the "decay" of different rock elements? And thank you for the much needed understanding of how Radiocarbon dating work.

              Again, what is your shtick? What are you trying to get at?

                  That's a direct quote. Are you denying you wrote it? Or are you quibbling between the ground producing cosmic radiation vs cosmic radiation produced elsewhere coming through the ground?

                  If the former, go look at post #41. If the latter, choose your wording more carefully. Not that it would make much difference, since your subsequent suggestion that cosmic radiation comes from the Earth's magma is equally inane.

                    This sounds like a wild goose chase. First, Chebshev polynomials which are now outdone, and now 87b as being the "source of isochrones".

                      Inane as in how? It might be produced even by the noise in the equipment.

                        Take WHAT as a "nay".

                            You might want to learn what cosmic rays are before you write your Noble Prize opus.

                              No, I'm asserting that you do.

                                Gibberish. They decay at the same rate and in the same manner under all terrestrial conditions, in rocks, in magma, in any portion of the Earth you care to consider. Including any reasonable definition of "incinerate". But you need to define "incinerate" and list specific instances under which something else happens. Including references. Hint: there ain't any.

                                U235 produces decay rays without transmuting constantly.
                                Nope. 235U produces "decay rays" and transmutes to 231Th. One 230Th for each decay of 235U, one decay of 235U for each 231Th. One to one.
