Age of the Earth

These calculations produced the famous physicist William Thomson, of the inaccuracy of data, the figures obtained by this scientist, vary within wide limits. Data on which he based the calculations were: the temperature at which solidification of the Earth began, the thermal conductivity of rocks and geothermal degree. Since none of these values ??is exactly unknown, in one case, Thompson took the largest amount in another the lower and middle in the third case. This way, he came to the conclusion that since, as the Earth began to harden, flowed at least 20 million and not more than 400 million years, the most probable number of turns lying in the range between 90 and 200 million years. Too many think that these figures are likely. It would be very important to achieve an unconditional definition of time in the history of the Earth, and therefore it is understandable that the thought expressed in such a respected scholar, once gained many supporters. But the math can give accurate results only when they are put in the bottom right data, with a lack of recent Math powerless. Calculations Thomson would have the right to universal recognition only if all three values, put them in the ground, were true, and if there was no fourth condition, which would have been overlooked. First, perhaps, could have been, and fix it, but in the calculations Thomson is not satisfied and the second condition. In considering the cooling of the sun, we saw that with a reduction of its mass develops heat, which compensates losses occurring as a result of radiation and the same should be true of the earth: and it is the beginning of cooling was subjected to strong contractions, the heat is released and the process of cooling slowed . How great was the impact of this condition, we do not know. In any case, the calculations do not take it into consideration, can not be true, but because the earth is actually expressed in figures, which should be much lower than calculated by Thomson. Regardless of the above objections, all still considered calculations, guesses, conjectures are false at the very bottom: they overlooked one very important fact: seeing in one or the other areas the temperature increase with depth, suggest that the rocks got their heat directly at cooling from the molten state. This assumption is not true: most of the observations made on those rocks, who sat out of the water at the bottom of seas and lakes, and we even do not know a single rock, which could be regarded as one of the components of the original crust. Two high temperature that we observe in depth study of rocks, can not be the remnant of the primitive heat: sedimentary rocks got their heat from the initial cooling products, which lie at greater depths. We can not enter into consideration the consequences that this implies, and restrict ourselves to showing that all the hypotheses and calculations should be reviewed from this point of view.
