First -- the 'biblical' age: how was the date of Creation 4004 BC figured out? A date which is so important even today ... it is the basis of claims made by millions that the Earth is only about 6000 years old. Next -- the response of geologists (and Darwin) for a very old Earth. Then, Kelvin's calculation of how long it would take for a hot Earth to cool down to its present state. And finally, today's answer ('billions'), based on the properties of radioactive materials. So, how old is Planet Earth?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46289768415383,"sku":"9789811201318","price":2901.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789811201318.webp?v=1768664756","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/age-of-the-earth-the-a-physicists-odyssey-9789811201318","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
