I just touched science!

Post by Cunt » Thu Jun 03, 2010 6:06 pm

Today, walking around, I met Mark. I don't know his last name, but he discovered the 'gneiss rock', which is 3.962 billion years old, making it not only the oldest known intact crustal rock on this planet, but the perfect missile to use in the battle against young-earthers (figuratively, I mean :biggrin: )

Anyway, I got to shake the hand of the man who found this rock. What's more, he said that if I purchase one, he will autograph it!!!

I don't know if there are any rock-happy science-loving sorts here, but I feel pretty excited about getting a piece (I'll have to save up a bit).

This rock is actually older than many of the older members here!!!

I offered to expose his souveneir business (he is selling pieces of this rock) here on the site, but will let him decide how/when. (and of course, I don't want to spam for business purposes here, so will check with a mod/admin before posting links or anything)

on the oldest rock in the world.

If either of you gents have the tolerance for censorship which reigns at RS, maybe you could spread the word out there.

To me, there seems to be something very honest about prospecting, finding a valuable rock, and selling it. I don't know why but I really like what he is doing with it. Think, my daughters will be able to tell their class that they touched the oldest rock on earth!

Anyhoo - I love the Titanic and all things Titanic, and I'm sick of bastards saying "Don't salvage anything, it's a graveyard." No it's not - it's the fuckin' Titanic, and I want a lump of coal or a plate from the bastard!

Let's go fucking get one, Dev. I'll hold the rope and pilot the boat if you can go diving.

"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people.

I got to meet a Titanic survivor when I was a kid - I was so proud of that; it was fascinating.

I met a man who worked at Harland and Wolff as a riveter on the Titanic. I was eight and he was about ninety. He said I was a "handsome wee fucker". He would be great here.

Gneiss is just a classification of metamorphic rock. I assume you meant he found a formation of gneiss which is 3.962 billion years old.
/pedant

Where did he find it? Greenland is my guess, that's where most of the really old stuff is.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
