- One piece of evidence advanced for a young universe concerns
- the depth of dust on the moon. In my younger years, I remember
- quite a bit of concern about the depth likely to be encountered
- on the moon. Many people expected 20 - 40 feet of the stuff
- based on calculated accumulations. Fortunately for Neil
- Armstrong, there turned out to be much less -- of order
- a few inches. Anyone know what the accepted reconcilation
- of the discrepancy is?
