Description
How old is the Earth? At the end of the 19th century, geologists, biologists, physicists and astronomers were all looking for a clock that would provide an answer to this greatest Time question of all. Here is the story of one man's vision in developing a geological time scale that would finally lead to an accurate date for the Age of the Earth.
