The sun is or was apparently doing something strange.

The Sun has been doing strange things for a long time.

The problem with Religious Science. This is proveable truth forever and for all time! When change is discovered it is called a Cycle, or syndrom.

Quantum Mechanics is based on behavior change when a system gains or loses energy.

Change is the system. Long before farts were blamed for climate change, the climate changed. Ice Ages come and go, periods warmer than today, and the cause had to be outside this planet.

Carbon 14 dates do not fit the known dated periods, tree rings, Carbon 14 wanders. Production varies over time.

The Sun eats, excreats, blasts out Solar Flares, and absorbs a lot of cosmic radiation. Input/output must vary.

Careful measurement has shown the speed of light to be a constant, as measured on the surface of the earth. Time is also a constant, on Earth.

No one has been around long enough to measure decay rates, Like Carbon 14 they could wander a bit over time. An ice age could slow it, a supernova speed it up.

Water evaporates, slower at higher air pressure, humid air, higher with heat, Processes vary with the background.

This Earth Centric thinking clouds our vision of the whole system.

The view that climate is a measured standard only counts the last few hundred years, and ignores the last 25,000 which had a large and long ice age, sea level down 150 meters, and a period much warmer with sea level seven meters higher. That energy change did not come from the planet.

Longer term the age of dinosaurs that just ended was 125 degrees for over a hundred million years. A warmer sun seems likely, more than dinos breaking wind.

Expect change.

It does but only slightly. It is barely noticeable though.

All decay is an unstable atom breaking down into a more stable one. The radiation from the sun, the neutrinos particles specifically I do believe plus possibly other factors affect the stability which results in a slightly different rate.

It is a fraction of a percent anyway.

Carbon 14 wanders. There we have known dates, tree rings, and the Carbon 14 dates are off. It is plus/minus through time.

All dates for some periods are hundreds of years off, across the board, and other periods are right on the mark. For a decay rate tracked over 5,000 years, the only one, it shows that it is not a clock, but a process.

Long term it is within +-1-2%, a hundred years in 5,000. Some periods are farther off. Now in our post glacial world the Carbon Cycle has not changed, that stuff is trapped here. What has changed is the rate of Carbon 14 production, sometimes by a large margin.

It has been proposed that the bumps in Carbon 14 match the Vela X and other Supernovas. The same force hitting something as large as the sun is inputing a huge amount of energy, that stuff that cannot be created or destroyed. If it can blow away the Ozone layer on Earth, that force applied to the Sun will have results.

It is a small but known change in decay rates.

Nothing is fixed, nothing is touching, everything vibrates.

It's definitely proven that bodies in the solar system have been acting strangely lately. I guess the proof will be in the pudding if something major happens.

The only weird thing I have seen is this. Something seemingly orbiting our solar system was detected by NASA then the story eventually become a bit quiet. If the mapping of this object is correct then when it has lined up with us between itself and other planets it may have played a part in weather disturbances like earthquakes.

I only read the article and did not go off exploring the sources so I am not assuming it to be true but would like to hear what others think.

Sounds like more crazy new age hype; key elements: '2012' 'underground city beneath Denver airport' 'Jesse Ventura' 'Neutron Star'... sigh
I look forward to what ruveyn has to say

Thanks. I am on that sceptics blog now. the mad scientist bit is where I think I might start off.

I think Phil Plait might have a show now, not sure. I like his section on Astrology

I googled his name and lots comes up.
