Palaeogeology and History of The Solar System 2014-05-04, 10:24:07 Well... No Creationism, if you don't mind.In the Beginning, there was a Big Bang - or whatever.Blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, one shiny morning a star emerged in one of the prongs of the galaxy that not even then conceived humans would much-much later call the Milky Way.And here our Story begins...
Re: Palaeogeology and History of The Solar System Reply #1 – 2014-05-04, 10:35:17 Here's the first part of a well updated "history of Earth", if you don't mind: [video]http://youtu.be/M4pt0fFn_a4[/video].Geologists and such guys measure the timescale of the Earth's and even Universe's history in some standard units - based on years, years as we have them now. Then come - days? Yeah, there are "standard days", but we remember that the length of a day has always been changing - since the beginning of Earth's rotation -- right? Now what about a year?Was the early Earth's orbit stable in yonder days? Interesting, huh?
Re: Palaeogeology and History of The Solar System Reply #2 – 2014-05-04, 10:50:41 Something to note there is that in plenty of sci-fi, people look for this planet where a day actually lasts one Earth Day, and that has a satellite. Setting aside apocalyptic scenarios, in a few million years an Earth day will have slowed to e.g. 25 hours, and will thus no longer correspond to the universal standard.
