Nuclear Explosions Key To Spotting Fake Art

Posted by Soulskill on from the all-the-more-reason-to-launch-nukes dept.

Socguy writes "A Russian art curator, Elena Basner, is claiming to have a foolproof method for determining whether or not particular paintings have been created since 1945. She claims that isotopes released into the environment by man-made nuclear explosions have found their way into types of the natural oils used to make paints."

    1) Place a nuke over the painting
