Some questions come to mind as I read this article:
How many published papers are affected by this change?
Papers often quote radiometric dates to 4 or more significant figures. Theorists rely on these values.
If values are not discovered but “adopted,” is it possible there was motivation by theorists to “adopt” a different value to create consistency with other chronometers?
Does the new value make the “assessed chronology of events in the early system” more or less plausible?
What will be the ripple effect from here on for a chronometer that ticks 33% faster than previously thought?
Who will go back and correct theories based on the previous value?

The solar system did not evolve. It was created by God.
