Defence of Planetary Conjunctions for Early Chinese Chronology Is Unmerited
نویسنده
چکیده
Pankenier (2007) has responded to the critique by Keenan (2002) of astro-historiographic chronologies of early China. The arguments of Pankenier are assessed herein; the conclusion is that the arguments have negligible scholarly merit. Some problems with radiocarbon dates are also considered.

متن کاملPRECISE DETERMINATION OF INITIAL SOLAR SYSTEM Sr/Sr AND IMPLICATIONS FOR EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM CHRONOLOGY
Introduction: Sr model ages provide constraints on early solar system chronology. The timing and duration of condensation events from the solar nebula, and of subsequent differentiation of planetary bodies are of particular interest. Model age uncertainty depends partly on the precision in the initial solar system 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio. Here we measure
متن کاملInvestigating the Use of Paratactic and Hypotactic Conjunctions among Iranian Pre-university Students
In an attempt to dispel the persisting fallacy that an individual’s grammar knowledge is indicative of the way they put this knowledge into practice, this study seeks to highlight the inconsistency which resides between one’s competence and performance in the domain of conjunctions. It aims to shed light on the discrepancy which lies between the knowledge and production of conjunctions. The res...
متن کاملU-Pb ages of angrites
The chemistry and isotope chemistry of natural materials is highly indicative of provenance and process throughout geological history. Our studies range in time from the earliest solar system through to processes that are actively taking place today, and in scope from planetary systems to individual molecules. Active areas of research centre on planetary studies, metamorphic and igneous geochem...
متن کاملA calibrated chronology of biochemistry reveals a stem line of descent responsible for planetary biodiversity
Time-calibrated phylogenomic trees of protein domain structure produce powerful chronologies describing the evolution of biochemistry and life. These timetrees are built from a genomic census of millions of encoded proteins using models of nested accumulation of molecules in evolving proteomes. Here we show that a primordial stem line of descent, a propagating series of pluripotent cellular ent...
