The 14 pages that link to Age of Earth, each with the reason it gives.

• Radiometric datingRelated: Radiometric dating of meteorites and terrestrial materials established this estimate.

• Isotope geochemistryRelated: Radiometric isotope measurements of meteorites and ancient minerals underpin this estimate.

• Charles LyellRelated: Lyell helped make an ancient Earth scientifically plausible, though he did not determine its modern measured age.

• Deep timeBroader topic: This estimate gives deep time its central numerical scale.

• Age of the universeCompared with: It is a much shorter local timescale nested within the universe's history.

• Arthur HolmesRelated: Holmes’s radiometric work challenged estimates that left too little time for geological change.

• Early EarthRelated: Radiometric dating places the beginning of Earth’s history at roughly 4.54 billion years ago.

• History of geologyRelated: Improved dating methods replaced short chronologies with a measured planetary history.

• Glauber RochaBroader topic: This late work pushes his political cinema toward an openly experimental, collage-like form.

• Lord KelvinRelated: Kelvin’s cooling calculations produced an age far younger than geological and later radiometric estimates.

• Clair PattersonBroader topic: Patterson’s 1956 calculation established the estimate still accepted today.

• Earth's internal heat budgetRelated: The age sets the timescale over which primordial heat has been lost and radioactive heat produced.

• Georges-Louis LeclercRelated: Buffon used cooling experiments to argue for an Earth far older than biblical chronology allowed.

• Thomas Chrowder ChamberlinRelated: Chamberlin’s geological arguments addressed the long timescales required for Earth’s history.
