One aspect of early Earth evolution that remains puzzling is the discrepancy between the more rapid formation time of the core given by the decay of hafnium to tungsten than by the clock based on the decay of uranium to lead.
Wood and Halliday suggest that the explanation may be that the Hf–W clock represents the principal phase of core formation before the giant impact that formed the Moon.
The upheaval introduced oxidation and the formation of a sulphur-rich metal in to which lead would have dissolved preferentially, in effect resetting the U–Pb clock to a younger date.

 Sports performance and Ageing
The conventional wisdom is that the heart is to blame for much of the decline, since there's a steady fall with age in the number of receptors on the heart muscle that listen to the nervous system's signals telling it how fast it should beat.
As the heart becomes deaf to messages urging it to work harder, its maximum rate drops by about one beat per minute each year-a decline that everyone assumed would translate into less oxygen delivered to the muscles during times of peak workload, and hence a lower VO2max.
A 50-year-old's heart might not beat as fast as it once did, but it can pump at least as much blood per minute.
