I hate to rain on the parade but all of the elements were created at the exact same time. They have been forming compounds and breaking up ever since. Everything on Earth is the same initial age. If not... where did the new elements come from (other than the fake and unstable ones created in accelerators)...

This is better stated... the compound H2O found here was formed a long time ago from elements that are all the same age...

I don’t think so. As they say on the veldt, “Ek voel naar. Waar is die badkamer!”

“Old” water? Isolated for a long time, maybe, but it’s no older than the rest.
It’s been passed through the kidneys of countless mammals and dinosaurs before that, evaporated, precipitated, absorbed, ingested and peed out again and again and again. We have an amazing filtration and desalinization system on our remarkable little planet.
To: decimon
“Neon profile?” Does that mean the water glows?
To: RegulatorCountry
I am making new water with my catalytic converters in case anybody does not want to drink the old stuff.

You mean WC Fields could drink it? No fish have ****ed in it, lol?
Now that’s some fresh water. Make liberal heads explode, market it as the freshest of the fresh, straight out of your SUV exhaust, lol.

People that do that are the same as those that put Coke in 12 Year+ Bourbon.

BILLIONS OF YEARS ~ far, far, far older than dinosaurs ~ older even than multi-cellular critters.
This is the original stuff and it's full of NEON. A quick reference to a decay table (identifying what NEON comes from) means we can infer some very interesting things about Earth's environment 2 billion years back. (SEE: >http://www.periodictable.com/Isotopes/010.20/index.html )
