Early Earth ran multiple "operating systems", before settling for the tectonic activity that we know today.
Nothing is set in stone, or in this case, zircons. Or is it?
Latest research, (see link below), is rewriting our understanding of how Earth's crust behaved 3.6-4 billion years ago.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.

A bit of humour, the photo shows tle petit train jaune, which goes through a bit of the French Pyrenees. Nice photo, but why not a TGV, which does go between cities.
Train routes in Europe are an affordable way to travel, offering scenic rides and sleeper options that can now beat flights, in terms of cost, experience, and environmental credentials.

What would you say, if said that there is a “Billion Years” in the heart of the City of London?
