"As is well known, the most exact way of determining the ages of rocks
depends upon the regularity of radioactive decay processes. Obviously,
the same method can be applied to meteorites... In our present state
of ignorance of how they were formed, we must admit the possibility
that there may be meteorites substantially older than the oldest
strata on Earth..."
