The percentages 99.9% and 0.01% DO NOT ADD UP so the alleged 0.01% of "ET isotope" or "unknown" is nonsensical and certainly does NOT confirm the "trustworthiness and credibility" of Wolf or "further increase the value of all his sayings" -- if he used the same erroneous 0.01% figure that is embarrassingly due to a failure of grade-school math. There is no mention at all of WHAT alleged laboratory analyses were carried out to supposedly identify the "isotopes" (wrong terminology, there are only isotopes of the same element, but nuclides of differing elements). What were the percentages of the different Si (silicon) isotopes Si 28, Si 29 and Si 30? Were they of normal naturally-occurring abundance? If you're going to go into all this length of text with percentages then the alleged "most advanced laboratory devices" should be stated along with sensible details, otherwise spare us the irrelevant banter and backscratching. I'm sorry to say but if anyone tested the sample on a mass spectrometer and tried to claim there was 0.01% (or 0.1%) "unknown" they'd be laughed out of scientific meetings as hopelessly misguided. You wouldn't even know there was _any_ percentage "unknown" unless it in fact was registered on the spectrometer and therefore wouldn't be "unknown" any longer. There is no way to obtain such an exact _quantitative_value_ as 0.01% or 0.1% and still have it be "unknown." I suspect that whoever is behind these "analyses" simply don't know what they're talking about and are just masking ignorance with scientific-sounding gibberish. I haven't seen the US lab analyses and don't know whether they are available on the Web. Brad Sparks
