    *shrug*, you're talking about a device with the power of a $50 used desktop (often with free shipping) you could buy on eBay. slap some open source software to do the job on there and you have a $50 device.

    some can commit murder. we have large corporations with congressmen in their pocket who control our wars of choice. some supply arms, some are contractors to rebuild that which was needlessly destroyed.

    sure, but we have *nothing on earth to measure* to see how old is it. instead, we have things to measure that are younger such as the mineral I mentioned. we can also measure things outside the earth, but then we're in the realm of our current models and understanding which may change.

    wrong, there is *nothing to radiometrically date* to know the age of the Earth. that's the point and problem of inhabiting a tectonically living planet. We can only say it is not younger than 4.3 billion years.

    Inuit writing is a very recent invention, less than 300 years. without written history, it is ridiculous to say "the inuit would have notice". maybe they did, and maybe the knowledge was lost.

    What's not a mystery is that the Earth is quite surely about 4.5 billion years old.

    No, absolutely false. that is just according to generally accepted model which may prove false or incomplete. There is no hard proof, other than that it is older than 4.3 billion years.

  15. Re:Age of Earth is Mystery, assumptions are used on Climate Contrarians Seek Leadership of House Science Committee · · Score: 1

    that model is a hypothesis with some supporting evidence, not a proven fact. It is not the reason rocks of greater than 4.03 billion years never found, that is due solely to the tectonic recycling of the earth's plates. The point is that it is possible our Earth is much older than 4.5 billion years if our model of the early solar system's development is flawed.

  16. Age of Earth is Mystery, assumptions are used on Climate Contrarians Seek Leadership of House Science Committee · · Score: 0

    Rock and minerals are mosly recycled by our active planet. The oldest rock is 4.03 billion years old (gniess from NW Canada), and oldest mineral is 4.3 billion years (zircon crystals from west australia). But neither tells us the age of the Earth. That is done by assumption from meteorites and moon rocks.....true age of Earth is honestly a mystery.

    the arctic thaws every year, and we don't have measurements of how much for even the last 100 years. A little run of bad weather and the "climatologists" (not a field of science for which any educational institution grants a degree) wail "it's due to global warming", whether hurricane, flood, drought or snow storm. Drought is cyclical, as is flooding. if you had been alive in the 1930s dust bowl in the midwest you'd be shitting your britches thinking the world was ending, claiming man's evil technology was to blame. The "climatologists" have been generating mostly useless models for over a decade, then cherry-picking those few that match reality (cooking the books after the fact), and then claim the model's future predictions are reliable. Meanwhile, carbon & cap& trade scams have already cost billions of eros of fraud in europe to date.
