Node event added.

In retaliation for failing geology in high school, I took a bunch of tiny zircons, ran them through 4.25 billion years or so of expanded time and dropped them off in an Australian gravel bed.  They should be recovered and dated in about 6000 years…

Sorry, but _how_ did you create 4.25 billion year old ZrSiO4?

!) obtain zircons
@) send zircons through a temporal anomaly.  There are plenty of small ones lying around if you know where to look.
#) Collect zircons.  Its been 1 day for me but about 250 million years for the zircons (Can’t tell exactly, it’s probably off by a few million years between the first and last zircons sent)
$) repeat steps @ and # until the zircons are old enough
