Just what do neutrons do? My theory is they are akin to atomic fat.

Under proposed NYC law you will be able to buy carbon-12 and carbon-13 but not carbon-14.

"...showing a big, short-lived spike in carbon-14 levels way back in the 8th Century!....a rise in the concentration of carbon-14 that starts in the 770s, peaks in the 780s...."

Most frequently, cosmic rays are protons, but a handful are heavier ions and a few are even humble electrons

The above are charged particles and subject to magnetic forces ("Northern Lights" are formed this way).

This may be the simplest explanation (Occam's Razor) assuming it is not just a false reading or interpretation.

Fairly accurate, but the reason they stopped above-ground testing had little or nothing to do with carbon.

It was the Iodine, Strontium, and Cesium radioactive isotopes (and a bit of radioactive inert gasses) that were created that put an end to open air testing.
