Re: When did it change? how old the rock?
RedWolf, that's an interesting page, but it is also wrong. The solar neutrino problem has been solved for several years. As a matter of fact, I went to a talk on it about 10 months ago. I can also tell that the guy knows somethings about physics, but doesn't really understand a whole lot more. The whole bit about astrophysics curricula not including "currents and E-fields" is just plain laughable. There shouldn't be any doubt that the sun radiates energy via nuclear fusion, primarily of hydrogen.
As for gravity changing in the recent past, there would be some tell tale signs. For instance, we could look at stars 100 million light years away to see if gravity was acting differently then than it is now. We could also examine how often the rate of deposition of dust and what not changed over the past 100 million years (stuff from space has different chemical signatures than earth stuff).

Re: When did it change? how old the rock?
I have done reading, and attended a talk. The solar neutrino problem has been solved. Your article is incorrect in several aspects, including its claim that we detect muon neutrinos- the neutrino deficit was a lack of detected electron neutrinos. We know that neutrinos can change flavor via the Super-Kamiokande experiments from the late 90's. I am just pointing out some of the more standout flaws in that link, but there are others. I like the idea of that cosmic current though, that's something a science fiction writer couldn't imagine.
