Marcell Fóti, author of The Natron Theory, is featured on my website this month. Marcell's book examines the perplexing mystery of megalithic construction and describes experiments that bring to light an ancient recipe for casting stone. grahamhancock.com/fotim1/
Easy to prove: Make a thin section of a piece a stone you think is artificial and stick it under a petrographic microscope using cross polarized light. Turning the stage, quartz alternates black/gray/white (anisotropic), while amorphous glass will always appear black (isotropic).
Any geologist worth their salt (teehee, natron...salt...get it? 🤭) could tell the difference between real stone and artificial stone 💁
Did you ever see this? m.youtube.com/watch?v=oKrlR_… Not always a clear cut (or cast) question, even from professionals with no axe to grind… caveman … get it ;-)
Thanks for sharing! A great example of how science should work 👍 Not always right (sometimes wrong for the right reasons), but ultimately self-correcting as accumulated evidence points the way towards the best explanation for a phenomenon. Thin sections FTW! 💪🤓🔬🪨 #parsimony
If you haven’t seen it. Very interesting video. m.youtube.com/watch?v=znQk_y… They wonder if future scientists would be able to tell the difference - is it possible to do now?
The most telling signs would be: 1. Geopolymer binder (amorphous/isotropic) looks different from natural calcite cement. 2. Lack of interlocking grain contacts; natural diagenetic features, stratification, and fossil orientation. 3. Unnatural distribution/size of voids.
Please can you post the method for taking thin sections and conducting this analysis, so that we can use it? That would be great!
Probably easier, cheaper, and safer (easy to break) to send samples to a petrographic thin section preparation service (Google it), rather than buy a couple of rock saws, epoxy, glass slides, polishing equipment, etc. You'll also need a petrographic 🔬 to look at them properly.
