How Old is Planet Earth?

If you did not know, read on!

How rude of you to not know the age of our beloved Planet ! This is almost insane! But i am here to shed some light on it . But before that the age of the Universe !

According to the latest research conducted the Universe is estimated to be 13.7 billion years old. Whoa ! Yeah this is a big wow ain’t in ? We are a tiny particle in the huge universe that has been here for billions of years and we come and go!

Now on to the age of Earth. The scientist have been pondering the age of earth for 100’s of years . Dont know what you called scientist hundred years ago maybe clueless.  Any ways the age of earth is calculated by ….. wait for it …. radiometric dating of fragments from the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite! Yes it is that simple and i always thought it would be something difficult!

This study eventually reveals the radioactive uranium age speculation to near billions of year. Ok i get it not an easy science , go blame the scientist complicates everything make water H2o and acid H2So4 ! Hmm I hope these dudes are scientist and not chemist or i’ll read real stupid, like that has ever happened before !!

Ok got lost THE AGE OF PLANET EARTH …. lets count till ten and ill reveal it 1 … 2……  i cant control it much longer …..

Our Planet Earth is 4.56 billion years old!

Cheers.

    If the universe is 13.7B and earth is 4.56B on an age scale, If the universe is taken to be old, then Earth would be prepubescent ? Mmh! explains a lot.

    Interesting post Suhail.

    i think that we really do not know,we do not even know where we are coming from,if we just know ,we be wondering,the earth is being here for a very long time but what about us…were did the others went? we discover bodies millions of years old but just one body? were are the others and how do they disappear.
