Honed measurements show age overshot by amount significant to earliest
stage of formation.

"Historical estimates place the age at about 4.5 billion years"
"recent calculations place the age at more like 4.5672 billion years"
"this difference is important in understanding the infant solar
system"

A 1.5% relative increase overturning our "understanding" of anything
composed of conjecture is bull****.

Too bad my paramagnetic basalt moon rocks don't agree with NASA's moon
rocks.

Wonder why our moon(Selene) is so much more radioactive than Earth.
Of course anything derived from the Sirius(B) nova would be newer and
thus more radioactive.
