You might call it an ion microscope but not sure.

Originally posted by RJHindsIt's only science fiction in your deluded mind. REAL people KNOW how old the Earth is and it is 100% certain not to be a few thousand years old.
Science fiction to you is still science? It doesn't matter if it is true or false, right?
That is your delusion, not ours and please keep it out of the science forum.
