What does Schrödinger's cat 🐱 have to do with the age of the #Earth?

Thanks to Schrödinger's equation, radiometric dating and quantum simulations became possible, allowing scientists to measure #geological time and explore Earth's deep interior. It has, in fact, helped build modern Earth #science.

The #CircularEconomy is recycling colonies.

This is a #colonial era map of Tanganyika [sic] with a present day #geological conductivity map of the Kitai mining license drawn (not to scale) on top of it, which is proposed to be mined by Australian mining company Resource Minerals for its nickel deposits.
