Isn’t all the material in the Universe the same age? 13.8 billion years? How can anything be younger?
Law of conservation of matter: matter cannot be created or destroyed. So it’s all the same age. ‘Splain me this!

Law of conservation of matter: matter cannot be created or destroyed. This is true in a 'closed system' where energy is not allowed to enter or leave. Matter can be rearranged on the atomic level inside a star's furnace under enormous heat and pressures, and create new elements from lighter ones. the gold in your jewelry was formed in a star's nova explosion. The Iron in your blood and your car was created in a star's waning years. All the natural elements were created inside stars, so we, too, are stardust...................

The Collin Street Bakery in Corsicana, Texas, is a huge fruit cake recycling facility. They haven’t baked a fresh one in years, just send out the returnees.

I wonder how that meteor excapednl the gravity well of a distant star? How convenient that that solar system used our calendar system on the manufacturing tag.
Why is it that the more zeros in the conclusions of grant studies tends to add more zeros to grants?
While I appreciate a good story, it would be a lot cheaper and as productive to hand them a bag of pot and just record the nightly profound revelations...

"Our sun creates helium out of hydrogen. All other elements were created somewhere else, either in much older stars or the Big Bang."
I read that helium was the next element to form after hydrogen from the Big Bang.

I presume to assume that has some significance?.................
By his own words, he's admitting they have no idea how long the substance was exposed to cosmic rays.
IOW, it's a WAG.

Hmmm. You actually can’t date rocks. This is even worse guesswork than you usually see.
