The Earth in Space and Time
The Matter of Origin of the Space and the Earth

The introductory lecture evening will deal with the matter that sets considerable disputes: “How old is space and our planet and when, how and why did we start to exist?” The so-called Big Bang theory will be introduced and then its compatibility with new discoveries in physics and astronomy will be discussed. In the second part of the lecture, you can see the multimedia presentation showing the catastrophe model of the so-called geological column, which is used in, among other things, the dating of fossil findings. The discussion will also deal in detail with the evidence of rapid deposition of geological layers, evidence of canyon formation and their significance in the Earth's age dating.
