Oy! While that event certainly proved beyond any doubt that th etwo were
transferrable, some of those old books must have been waaaayy out of date.

In my High school, in the early 70's, we were taught not one thing about
anything that would make the world older than around 6000 years. Science
class was very strange.

Actually E=MC2 was explaned fairly well in the text books, just not covered
in class. My teacher had a problem with the earth being older than 6000
years too but it was a subject avoided. He would neither confirm nor deny
his position in class though several students went to the same church he
did.
