I can not handle the fact that Australia and Antarctica are butt buddies.I tend to expound on Permian Seas
Do you think you can handle that? At work and now that I have a super computer...
And not that the fact the North American Craton is basically still intact after 6 billion years?
that was me in california 4 years ago trying not to shit myself walking back up from the beach....I ran for an hour at lunch. Kind of felt like this piled onto the XC skiing this morning:
that is a lot of hair/slobber.....
My town also reported 18" with 3-4" slush on the ground. Fake snow?
That was reported by my ex brother in law, with photographs.
30" at one of my employees in NJ.
North Korea is beautiful this time of year.
Wait, I thought it was Sochi?
...sure!
That’s a suspiciously phallus shaped impression in the snow, my bro
The Earth itself is less than 5 billion years old and the crust didn't solidify until about 1.5 billion years ago. The North American Craton is only about 600 million years old.
What year did it turn flat?
I blame the Mercator projection, so I will say 1569.
So if Acasta Gneiss was Metamorphized 4 Billion years ago (Can be carbon dated as such) and formed on the edge of Laurentia (The North American Craton) in a different state mind you. What was there before that? Kimberlite samples from the North Atlantic Craton can be dated back to 4 Billion years ago. Has the earths crust completed its solidification process yet?
Carbon dating can really only be used to on life forms that absorbs atmospheric carbon and therefor isn't used to date rocks. In addition Carbon 14 has a half life of 5730 years. In a sample 4,000,000,000 years old it would have to have contained 2^698000 carbon 14 atoms to have any remaining. The universe only has an estimated 10^82 atoms in it.
Edit: I used the notation of 2^698000 above because trying to calculate it provides an answer of infinity on a calculator. I even busted out Matlab and it gives me an answer of infinity above a number around 2^1000

Solid point. But the original sample of carbon 14 atoms would have created a black hole ceased to have existed in the universe as we know it.
Beryllium-10 decaying to boron has a half-life of 1.52 million years. Geologists measure the abundance of these radioisotopes instead to date rocks. I stand corrected. Thanks.
What the fuck, man?? This is the internet. You can't just say you are wrong. Double down and fucking make up some bullshit nonsense if you have to.
There is a difference in thinking you know things and actually knowing them. I defer to Westy as he actually knows things. It matters little to him what you think...What the fuck, man??

This is extremely disappointing.

It was a gentlemanly discussion. You wouldn't understand.
Whoa
