<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2326758, member: 76194&quot;]As cool as old coins or old fossils are, technically you may own older things without realizing it. Well, first of all, the atoms that make up your body, and the matter in everything in your house is billions of years old material fused in the core of stars, so technically everything is very old...even something brand new. The gold and silver in your ancient coins could have been fused 5 or 6 billion years ago in the core of the stars that created the nebula that gave birth to our sun.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that itself doesn&#039;t impress you, look at a rock in your backyard. Depending where you live in the world, some of the rocks and pebbles in your backyard could have come from a Precambrian or Cambrian rock formation that formed 600 million years ago or more. </p><p><br /></p><p>Science is fascinating. It makes you look at common things we would take for granted in a very different perspective.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
