POINT-SOURCE PLEOCHROIC HALOS; update 3/21/93, by
John Brawley
Unambiguous, unquestionable photographic evidence now
exists which demonstrates the formation of Polonium-218
(3-ring only) pleochroic point source radiohalos in
biotite mica _FROM_RADON-222.
After putting my work away except for a few bits and
pieces, I was examining mica from the Sinkhole Mine in
North Carolina's Bandana pegmatite district, and found
a sinuous crack with several distinct Po-218 halos in
it, with the _ENTIRE_CRACK_ showing the 3-ring halo all
along its length. There is no known way for this full-
crack-length _three-ring_ halo to form except via the
migration of Radon-222 gas into the crack, with some
locations holding the atoms in place longer than others.
None of the Uranium rings are present in this sample, in
the circular point source halos OR in the linear crack-
source halo. The ringed halos are identical to those
depicted in Dr. Gentry's 'radiohalo catalogue' in his
1988 book _Creation's_Tiny_Mystery_.
The four complete Po-218 halos and the several partially-
formed ones, along with the perfectly matching haloing
along the full length of the crack in which they are
situated, provides conclusive evidence that the Polonium
halos are not formed by God's deliberate placing of the
isotope particles in the biotite, but that they are formed
from thermally-driven migrating atoms of Radon-222 decaying
_TO_ Polonium-218 in these cracks.
As far as my personal investigation is concerned, the job
is done, Dr. Gentry is wrong, and the hypothesis that the
existence of "Polonium-218" halos is evidence that Earth
was formed less than 10,000 years ago, is FALSIFIED.
