I know this is only hearsay, but at a dinner party about ten years ago I spoke to a South African emigre who told me about a talk he had with one of the people who had examined the "ruins" at Oklo. (Funny they tend to use this word when talking about a series of caves)
He told me that there is an amazing amount of iron oxide inside these mines ... also known as "rust." He also said that every single one of these sites appears to be chambers cut out by intelligent design, not running water. They tend to have square perimeters internally ... also known as "rooms."
It is truly amazing that more than a dozen natural reactors
spontaneously sprang into existence and that they managed to maintain a modest power output for perhaps a few hundred millennia. Why is it that these parts of the deposit did not explode and destroy themselves right after nuclear chain reactions began? What mechanism provided the necessary self-regulation? Did these reactors run steadily or in fits and starts? The solutions to these puzzles emerged slowly after initial discovery of the Oklo phenomenon.
Gosh, you know that is pretty amazing. Especially the production of plutonium by natural forces, which just happens to be so well suited to supplying nuclear power needs. Especially when the production of plutonium nowadays takes a series of delicate, deliberate stages each requiring both timing and correct management in order to succeed.
Look, it's been explained for you there in black & white by edjumafacted types, which means the explanation must be true. Why else would they print it in the newspaper? It's like the cheetah - despite all appearances of being a domesticated animal 22,000 years ago with the genetics only seen in cloned animals, it was in fact just a species of mother f*cking incest mad cats who were crazy for sex with their cousins for thousands of years until they produced clone-like profiles.
I was watching the
Discovery channel last night about the Pharoah's jewelry, particularly the glass scarab that would have required temperatures exceeding 1800 celsius like those found inside a nuclear reactor to cast. They helped me to understand by explaining it was a magical mystery meteorite that magically made scarab molds when it hit the desert sands. That was on televitz so it must be true. They repeated the fallacy once again that it was "carved" into a scarab beetle from an original piece of glass despite the evidence clearly showing it was poured and molded in one pass.
Just so you'll know about the latest fringe theory, there are people who are starting to suspect the planet of being much, much older than 4 billion years. There are quite a few nuts on the edges who think the facts show our planet to be as much as 8 billion years old or more.
