You call it guesswork. However scientists make their calculations based upon the tools and techniques ever-developing science and mathematics make available. There is a world of differences between the two concepts. One of which is the calculations can be double-checked and fine tuned by anyone who takes the trouble to learn and examine the math, which is what this story is actually discussing.
In other words, nothing has to be taken on blind faith.
blah blah blah.
Carbon dating aside,
As a Physical Science major, I witnessed more guessing than anything.
The only thing that Scientists are interested in proving these days is that which is the agenda of their financiers.
Actually, it’s been this way for awhile.
It’s made me question everything.
