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...

“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.

“Neon profile?” Does that mean the water glows?

The world’s oldest water?

I wonder if it is stale?

"We concluded that the deeper waters were the product of isolation and extensive chemical interaction between water and rock over incredibly long geological time scales."

Interesting stuff. Good post.
Along the same line, I will be very interested to see what’s swimming around in Lake Vostok.
