Thus was the Earth created….

The Earth was a fiery hell after its creation, but this phase probably didn’t last that long, as long as they thought as now the geologists…
A new international scientific research -which dated from the oldest remnant of the “παρθενικού” earth’s crust that has an age of 4.4 billion years old – believes that the Earth is a cold, relatively quickly, with the result that to obtain water (and eventually life) earlier than believed, scientists, something that may have happened prior to 4.3 billion. years.
The researchers, led by professor of geochemistry John Valley of the university of Wisconsin, Madison, who made the relevant publication in the journal of geosciences “Nature Geoscience”, according to the Reuters news agency and the “Live Science”, they analyzed samples from the oldest known remnants that have been left until today from the early crust of our planet. These are tiny crystals of zirconium, that have been discovered in the remote rocky area of Jack Hills of Western Australia.
The researchers found that the zircon crystallized prior to 4,375 billion years (plus/minus 6 cm. years) and have confirmed that it is the oldest known solid material of any kind formed on Earth. The new γεωχρονολόγηση was based on the new advanced technique of tomography at the atomic scale, in combination with more traditional methods of mass spectrometry and dating with radioactive uranium.
Thus, the scientists concluded that the earth’s crust was created for the first time before at least 4.4 billion years, just 165 million. years after the formation of our solar system and the planet itself (our Earth is 4,54 billion years old). Before the creation of the crust, the Earth was a fiery ball covered by an ocean of molten magma, that still had not solidified.
“This confirms our view of how the Earth ψυχράνθηκε and became habitable,” said John Valley, who is an internationally recognised expert in the study of extreme geological past of our planet. As the american scientist, this strengthens the theory of a “early cold Land”, where relatively quickly, the temperatures were low enough for there to be liquid water and oceans.
“The zircons show us the earliest Earth was more like the Earth we know today, it wasn’t an inhospitable place. The new study strengthens the conclusion that the Earth had a hydrosphere before 4.3 million. years ago and possibly life not long after,” said george. Valley. As he said, the newborn Earth was formed from many heterogeneous materials of our solar system”, and then, during the first geological era, it suffered a bombardment from celestial bodies, such as asteroids and comets.
Decisive, according to the estimates, was the impact on our planet of a body of a large, almost Mars-like, before about 4.5 billion years. The fact that on the one hand led to the creation of the Moon (from the materials of both the Earth and the celestial body that fell on top of her) and on the other hand, melted, and ομογενοποίησε the Land that’s left. But after this initial phase, where the oceans of magma covering the Earth, this relatively quickly a cold, and gradually became more welcoming to the first forms of life.
