We'll start at the beginning.
When scientists claim they know the age of things their estimates and misplaced confidence in the maths they use and their use of such mathematics is actually questionable. A lot of established figure heads either usually have to put up with mass plagerisms and regurgitation of old efforts or they find some issues too deep and perplexing to deal with hence occums razor and they practically all want a departmental budget.
Actually with regards to occums razer this way of thinking is a bias in science that was instigated due to a lack of human resources way back when. Something that has become different is the human level of resources and the ongoing development of machine intelligence. So it would be accurate to state these days that for any given specific problem the optimal solution or solution set is almost certianly going to be the most useful to you but the simplist isn't always the optimal.
So you can see I'm talking about an interesting contradiction and the issue of better comprehending the masses of data collected or withdrawn as is commonly a case is causing a growing contradiction between the potential for furthering mans inner and under standing and departmentalist thinking or older less understood ways of thinking. This leaves human society in an ever growing state of flux caused by friction between inner and uner standing. On the one hand all you have to work with is what you've been informed of. On the other hand you seek more from the potentental.
So the earth began as a particle of whatever size came to this neck of the woods then continued to clump to the state it is at today. Along the way the rest of earth has learned to work ever better and more optimally with the abilities of the carbon. Carbon being the most energy alligning with the chireal dimensions of this aspect of this reality in this universe allowing it to work so dynamically with the other systems of energy. However to under inner stand in purly a carbon centric ways would be to miss all the heavenly glory of what else is worked or to be too particular with less precision. The earth works with more thought energy life dynamic or in other terms the earth has more thoueneife working on a longer scale than just ones life so what earths been seeing with scientific advance is just as or more interesting than what a human mind in symbiosis with the earth has been thinking. personally I've never heard the earth talk but I have sensed her thinking all the time an I've had a deep relationship with her since inception and before.
What about you hows your relationship with Earth going?
