In 1949, he developed radiocarbon dating or carbon-14 dating, a method that harnesses radioactive decay to determine the age of organic materials that has helped experts re-write history books by shedding light on “the wilderness of prehistory” and more accurately dating at the center of historical mysteries. For example, it determined that Ötzi the Iceman, whose remarkable remains were found in the Alps, was frozen for 5,300 years and that the last North American ice age ended about 10,000 years ago, not 25,000 years ago as previously believed by geologists. Carbon-14 forms in the atmosphere when acted upon by cosmic radiation and then deteriorates. Living organisms absorb carbon-14. When an organism dies and the supply of carbon from the atmosphere ceases, the content of carbon-14 declines through radioactive decay at a fixed rate. Experts can accurately determine the age of organic materials up to 60,000 years old by counting carbon-14 atoms left in the materials. Libby initially tested his dating method on charred bread from Pompeii and a fragment of an ancient chest from Ancient Egypt, but his discovery that carbon atoms act as a marker of time of death has not only revolutionized the field of archaeology but has also helped scientists understand Earth’s geology and changing climate, as well as revealing how our bodies work. In nominating Libby for the Nobel Prize (which he was awarded in 1960), one scientist said: “Seldom has a single discovery in chemistry had such an impact on the thinking in so many fields of human endeavor. Seldom has a single discovery generated such wide public interest.” http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1737728589.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1737728589.jpg |

Pie suppers were a popular social event in small towns and rural communities, particularly in the South and Midwest. These gatherings typically involved women baking pies to be auctioned off, with the proceeds supporting local causes such as churches, schools, or community activities. The atmosphere was often warm and communal, as neighbors and families came together to enjoy food, socialize, and contribute to the well-being of their community. In Muskogee County, a region both agricultural and dependent on industries like coal mining, the use of a coal stove reflects the energy resources of the time. Coal was a primary fuel for heating and cooking, especially in rural areas where electricity and modern conveniences were less common than in urban centers. The person tending the stove during the pie supper played a vital role, ensuring the stove stayed fueled and functional throughout the event, maintaining warmth and providing energy for cooking. Pie suppers also played an important role in local social life, offering an opportunity for the community to unite. The presence of coal in the image—both as a fuel source and a symbol of the industrial age—highlights the dual nature of rural life during this period. While people gathered to enjoy simple pleasures like pie suppers, they were also deeply connected to the industries and labor that powered the country. The photograph captures a moment when such events were an integral part of rural life, where people depended on one another and shared resources, all while navigating the challenges of a rapidly industrializing America. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1737986558.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1737986558.jpg 48 years ago on, January 15, 1977, The Coneheads aired for the first time on Saturday Night Live (SNL) Starred Dan Aykroyd as father Beldar, Jane Curtin as mother Prymaat, and Laraine Newman as daughter Connie. |

The gravitational force of two aligned galaxies causes light from a quasar to be bent and copied six times, producing a distinctive "zig-zag" pattern. This discovery demonstrates the complex warping of space-time, which was predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity in 1915. In addition to its striking visual impact, the Einstein zigzag offers important insights into dark energy, which aids scientists in fine-tuning cosmological parameters and comprehending the accelerated expansion and structural history of the universe. |

Ronald Gerald Wayne (born May 17, 1934) is an American retired electronics industry business executive. He co-founded Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) as a partnership with Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs on April 1, 1976, providing administrative oversight and documentation for the new venture. Twelve days later, he sold his 10% share of the new company back to Jobs and Wozniak, for US$800 (equivalent to $4,300 in 2023), and one year later accepted a final $1,500 (equivalent to $8,000 in 2023) to forfeit any potential future claims against the newly incorporated Apple. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Wayne#:~:text=Twelve%20days%20later%2C%20he %20sold%20his%2010%,future%20claims%20against%20th e%20newly%20incorporated%20Apple. |
