I know free neutrons don't last very long... but, did you not detect the irony of my post??
Of course! Congratulations!
And welcome to the club of those few folks who can appreciate taking the long view. As an indicator of this; I was looking at a photograph of Mount Everest.
The striations of the rock are clearly visible, indicating that it is composed of sedimentary rock.
Whoa! The top of Mount Everest was at one time under an ocean? Awesome!!
