Crop Circle Analysis - Where Does The Soil Radiation Come From?

[common_sense_seeker]

This funded study has examined the soil around some crop circles and found them to be radioactive The Discovery of Thirteen Short-Lived Radionuclides
in Soil Samples from an English Crop Circle. Okay, so most crop circles are hoaxes, but hoaxers wouldn't leave radiation behind would they?

Cuttlefish made the circles with their ink..that's why they are radioactive. They were carried to the fields by giant flying manta rays.

Maybe that's exactly what they want you to think.
"If we leave traces of radiation then the believers'll convince themselves it MUST be real".

I suppose if they were real you could spin the electrons with a local pressure wave that opens their nodes into a fast spin. If...

Would that get rid of the crackpots?

i agree but to leace small amounts of radiation over that large of an area you would need radioactive matrerial, so is a hoax really worth losing your life over?

It's based on our brain, but I'm not saying it's true, or not.

Losing your life?
Read the damn' link!

Even though the samples emitted higher percentages of radiation than the control, their total emissions were far below the danger threshold. This is because the radionuclides were present in such low concentrations that they could only be detected by exquisitely sensitive equipment.

yes i did and radiation poisoning is what im talkin about

OHH my bad comment retracteed

And where are these pranksters who have a ropes and wooden boards suddenly going to acquire the right amount of radioactive substance to leave behind after every footfall??

Word salad dude. Nothing more.

what utter rubbish!

the cuttlefishes were caried there by semi-aquatic hyraxes living in loch ness - which then squeezed the radium atoms in the cuttlefish ink by matching their biological wavelength to that of radium by means of alterning electron spin in their pheromones.

Where did they get the radiation source from then? Trickier to attain than string and wooden boards I guess?

Okay, so they buy some rocks for $50, what next? :shrug:

Er, grind them up, cut them with a fine powder, and distribute them around the crop circle?

This is assuming that any _miniscule_ increase in radioactivity is faked, and not due to the biological effect of a plant concentrating minerals from the soil in it's roots, stem and leaves, of course,....

Why..why..(cough)..don't any of the televised and interviewed pranksters never admit to this detailed part of the hoax!!?

Because I qualified it with;

"This is assuming that any _miniscule_ increase in radioactivity is faked, and not due to the biological effect of a plant concentrating minerals from the soil in it's roots, stem and leaves, of course,...."

I actually think this latter mechanism would account for any effect, if there were any.

But you keep forgetting that you're still a 'nobody' whilst the report was commissioned and then performed by a highly qualified scientific team. You're personal opinion is irrelevant and which even a layman can see is close to ridiculous.c

My irony meter just went super critical and imploded...leaving behind a nano-black hole.
