Any implications for radio-carbon dating?

  Yes. Probably a better article 3 days ago here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33340066 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33340066 It's very interesting. It's been known for a while but they are narrowing the possible reasons with this new research. Given it's perhaps a pandemic level of destruction, with 8% chance during a person lifetime and actually fun to research you'd think more would done.
