C.E. The Bible was used in the Middle Ages to compute the age of the Earth. The 18th and 19th centuries brought a more scientific look into determining the age of the Earth by studying the salinities of the oceans‚ the rates of sedimentation‚ and models of cooling of different materials in order to calculate the Earth’s age. In 1862‚ William Thompson calculated the Earth’s age to be 98 million years and recounted that age to determine that it was actually between 20 and 40 million years old. He used

Preliminary Physics Assessment Tasks Research Report – Models of the Universe Research Report – Models of the Universe Date Due: Friday 31st Agust Weighting: 15% Abstract The Universe is where everything exists‚ matter and energy. There are two main models of the universe: the geocentric model and the heliocentric model. The geocentric model is where the Sun and other planets‚ moons and stars revolve around the Earth. The heliocentric model states that the Earth and other planets rotate around
