Well that was easy - must have had a date of manufacture on it.
OK excuse me if I think this is crap. The scientist dig a hole and think that this pool is older than any other pool beneath any other hole they could have dug. Scientist crap just to get published.
Uh huh.
It seems to me that with the water cycle, y’know, that thing you learned in what, 3rd grade the amount of water on earth is pretty much constant, it just evaporates, turns to rain, comes down, evaporates again and so on.
So, given that all water is constant, it’s all the same age.
Of course, I’m not a scientist.
The hydrogen atoms in our bodies are (allegedly) close to 14 billion years old. They were created soon after the BB.
I learn something new every day around here.
Cool stuff!
It would be fun to take a jar of it to the kid behind the counter at the swimming pool supply store and see what chemicals he advises dumping into it.
If that water could talk, what would it say?
“I’m running for president as a Democrat in 2020!”
It would be the oldest candidate for that nomination...probably...
As a point of reference, 2 billion years ago, Strom Thurmond had only just finished his second term in the US Senate.
My refrigerator looked like that, under the vegetable drawers, before I cleaned it.
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York Scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion, that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: “California archaeologists, finding of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers”
One week later. A local newspaper in Idaho reported the following: “After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Weippe, Idaho, Bubba, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Idaho had already gone wireless”.
Interesting. Thank you for this post.
Sooo...
I suppose they want us to take showers before we swim in it?
Would make a great Christmas gift!
Test it for hormones.
My gut feeling is some very liberal scientist from a very liberal university was given a very large sum of money from the liberal Democrat party to come up with this bull sh## discovery to push their evolutionary old earth made up science.
Invade Canada, NOW.
Send EPA-SWAT!
Protect this ancient water.
I’ll bet it has the cure for AIDs, and for Alt-Right.
