Description
The Age of the Earth: A Physicist's Odyssey by Archibald W. Hendry explores how the age of the Earth has been determined over centuries, from biblical calculations to modern scientific methods. The book delves into the history of Earth's age, starting with the 4004 BC date of Creation and its significance in modern debates about the planet's age. It then examines the responses of geologists and Darwin, followed by Kelvin's calculation of the Earth's cooling time. Finally, it presents today's answer based on radioactive materials. This book provides a detailed account of how scientists have pieced together evidence to determine the age of the Earth, shedding light on one of the most enduring questions in science.
