the age of the earth

[Pat Mustard]

They say 4.5 bill years with a range of 50 million years, but how did they not get its exact age? And where did they come up with the number of 50 million? Do you believe scientists really know?

Because when you measure the indicators that go back that far ther's going to be some uncertainty. Isotope decay and half-life aren't exact figures, because they describe random events. And tye 50mya is the 95% confidence gap, based on the statistical analysis of the lons of data collectef.

How old do you think our planet is?

I'm not no goddamn troll. I'm just here to inquire with you guys b/c I figured you would be intellectual types.

If you're not a troll then how did the goats fool you so easily, hah?

Gaea, being a woman, prefers to remain mysterious regarding her age.

A lady never grows older than 21. My granny taught me that, and grannies never lie.

Doubtful. Education was good for a short period long ago, but then capitalism ruined it.

I disagree.
America became great via true capitalism.
Capitalism is a victim here.
Whatever your country has become, it has poisoned capitalism.
The left would love nothing more than to blame "capitalism" on the state on America today.
The banksters just want you to be happy! (oh,  have own nothing). America is one giant corporatocracy that's too big to fail.
It will be saved at the cost of its citizens.

Get ready for the mother of all crashes. (between now and 3 months).
The fed cannot stop it any more than they could have stopped the last 20.

Capitalism by its nature is a self-defeating system. The seeds of its downfall are built right into it.
