The only real catastrophe is that there are no longer any coal fired
short-wave receivers being produced. Ah... the good old days.

As I understand, back in the crystal radio days, just about everything was
tried as a detector. Including coal. But nothing found was better than
galena, and later, germanium. Which makes me think these inhuman non-coal
detectors were a product of an even more ancient alien technology.

So, is man as old as tinfoil?

For one thing, man -- in almost our present form -- existed while
coal was being formed, and our ancestors lived alongside
giant scorpions, dinosaurs and beasts with six-inch-high canine
teeth.


Actually, dinosaurs had become extinct millions of years before the most
primitive of anthropoids ever showed up on the scene. Note in the link
below, the K-T boundary, when the dinosaurs became extinct, was 65,000,000
years ago. Hominids (pre-anthropoids) occured at a point between 12 and 20
million years ago. Modern man (Homo Sapiens Sapiens) came on the scene only
about 50,000 years ago.
