Tired and thinking about Dendrochronology. There is a precise way to tell exactly how old a tree is which is incredibly helpful for dating enviornments, but the only way to learn this is to cut the tree down. You can count the rings as many times as you want but it won't bring hte tree back.
This is how old the tree is.
This is how old the tree will ever be.
The Architecture of Organic Time and Its Translation Into Sound There are moments during research when one subject unexpectedly reveals anot
Maybe in another i could have been doing cool tree science like this
An impossible proposal, that cannot be carried out. But I like the idea anyway
I understand the need for modern human societies to live (at least on some level) with a single, synchronized calendar and clocks (so ships don't get lost at sea, for one, and satellite communications can be synced up, for another.
But it makes my brain itch that the particular calendar we're using was created as part of one religion whose theology was used to justify slavery and colonial exploitation.
If we could start over, and create a new calendar without a BC / AD (or B.C.E / C.E.) divide, I'd like year 1 to be the first year we can count using dendrochronology. It's the trees' planet; we just live here.
An excerpt from that Wikipedia article:
As of 2023, securely dated tree-ring data for Germany, Bohemia and Ireland are available going back 13,910 years.[3][4][5]
Back in 2016, Kurzgesagt posted a YouTube video about a proposal by the scientist Cesare Emiliani that we reorient our calendars to the first large human stone building -- marking the switch from hunting and gathering to agriculture. But the only change would be to stick a "1" (ten thousand years) at the front of the current year, which still prioritizes one religion above all others.
(And anyway, the more we learn about our own past and the planet's biosphere, the less special we as a species turn out to be, and a lot fuzzier the divide between agricultural "Civilization" and "Primitive Hunting-Gathering" becomes.)
Trees exist in their own time universe, outside (or rather, alongside) human religions and conquests.
So Happy 13913! May it be good to you!

Thats so freaking cool! I love tree scientists
✨Inside the medieval roof timbers at Beverley Minster, Yorkshire, one of the rafters has been dated (c. 921) and was a sapling during the reign of King Æthelstan, before England was an entity.
Touch it and you feel a kind of altitude and sense that the past is cheek by jowl.
🔆 If you feel comforted by continuity like here at Beverley Minster you might like my camper-van-camino through the British Isles. Each Friday I post out a digest recording the ✨wondrous ✨in my time-travelling camper van. Subscribe for free here: 👉

The Association for Tree-Ring Research (ATR) is an international scientific organization that aims to promote tree-ring research, education and public outreach. The ATR seeks to foster research projects, to build bridges, and to facilitate knowledge exchange between the different scientific disciplines working with tree rings and associated fields of science (e.g., forestry, archaeology, global change ecology). The Association has a strong commitment to disseminate knowledge about dendrochronology to the general public, and to strengthen the policy-science dialogue.
