sounds suspiciously precise. You'd imaging the proto Earth would have formed gradually over millions of years from rocks and dust merging rather than suddenly there 4,568 m years ago and then shortly after crashed into?
- andrewflnr 1y agoWell, 3 million is "millions". Anyway, that very quote continues: > "...this is surprisingly fast," says first author Kruttasch. So they don't entirely disagree that it's weird. But why are you replying to me with a quote from the article I already called a mess? Try your hand at the paper if you want real answers. :D Like I said, tough going, but they sure seem to think they have the sigfigs to back it up.
