PBS Space Time - Season 2020 Episode 13 How We Know The Earth Is Ancient (2024)
In astronomy we talk about billions of years like it’s no big deal. But how can we be sure about timescales so far beyond the capacity for human intuition?

What they found was as shocking and humbling as anything seen through the telescope.
