Our oficial geologic time is called the Eocene, a very irregular period of hot and cold years.But today we are in a long intermission that seems to be here to stay.Geologist now call these era the Anthropocene, "the age of man".When should it begin?Experts say that for a period to transpass to another period there must be a radical change everywhere in the world at once. Geologist say that could be the great acceleration, when the population of the world, the devices made and the species going extinct all increased. Geology is a very hardy science, no one expected that our impact could be transferred into the solid sediments of the earth. Geologist have even found sediments of air particles made artificially sinking and sedimenting in the bottom of the ocean!
