What is the age of the Earth? What is your age by the way? It means Earth has parents and siblings. If you are thinking about the age of the Earth; it means we’ve to find answers, if Earth has its own family billions of trillions year’s age.
The writer did the literature review on the topic, to see how much data is available on active resistance of the internet for the age of the Earth. There was a Greek Philosopher Xenophanes in Sixteenth Century B.C. who first speculated the age of the Earth. Early geologists tried many methods to calculate the age of the Earth.
You will see how scientists have betokened methods to calculate the age of the Earth.
1. The age of the Earth can be compared with the length of the single diurnal.
2. The age of the Earth is calculated by the time required for the Earth to form out of the solar nebula and frigid from a molten state to its present temperature.
3. Another comprehended method is to calculate the heat transfer rate of the Earth’s Internal Structure.
a. In the same domain, there is another method where a heat source is importunate for maintaining the Earth’s Interior Temperature since the very beginning.
i. The heat source here is the core of the earth with high temperature
4. The most accurate method to calculate the age of the Earth is the radioactive decay of isotopes.
a. The age of Earth is calculated by the radioactive decay of isotopes that generates heat as they decay into stable elements
b. Half life method of radioactive elements, it is another way to calculate the age of the Earth.
i. By calculating the half-lives of certain radio-active isotopes, found on Earth meteorites, and moon rocks scientists determined that the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old.
Do you believe the age of Earth is exactly 4.6 billion years ago? If you read the article, in the 4th point the age of the Earth is calculated to be 4.6 billion years old as mentioned in the book written by Jon Erickson (See Bibliography).
Do you believe the age of Earth is exactly 4.6 billion years? The writer want to answer by following the Laws mentioned in the radioactivity of isotopes. The Earth is older than 4.6 billion years. The age of Earth has no boundaries.
If I say the age of Earth is more than 4.6 billion trillion-trillion-trillion….. Years. It means there is no beginning of Earth if we follow the law of radioactivity of isotopes as explained in equation (1) and equation (2).
Yes, it is right. I want to answer by following the law of radioactivity of isotopes.
Where;
N, is the number of atoms
t, is the time
λ, is the rate of constant of decay known as half-life
It the equation where you can calculate the age of Earth, the equation (1) is integrated to be
Where:
N, is the number of atoms
N0, is the number of atom present when t = 0
λ, is the rate of constant known as half-life
If we calculate at present time the number of atoms present in the earth, and half-life of each atom in the Earth. We will get a time that is based on the half-life of atoms present in the Earth. But half-life is each atom is not going to end. It means after one half-life of each atom, will we get a value of time that is based on one half-life of each atom. The time calculated by one half-life of each atom is the age of earth but this age of Earth is one half-life of atom. It means, as we get billions of half-life of each atom there will age of Earth based on billions of half-life of each atom.
Now, lets take half-life of one atom. The age of earth calculated to be the age of one half-life of the atom. If we take half-life of two atoms, the age of earth calculated is based on half-life of two atoms. Two atoms means, two Earth. Each radioactive isotope holds one Earth in it.
There are trillions of atoms in a earth. It means there are trillions of Earths in one Earth. Each atom holds one earth and by following half-life law of the atom it holds billions of Earth and so on.
