| Greenland Ice Core Study-January 2005 | | | |
| | | | |
| This study is based on the last 11,000 years of the 128,000 years of ice core drillings available. | | | |
| | | | |
| Each year 14,000 kilotons of star dust is deposited on the earth. | | | |
| | | | |
| So one can conclude the following | | | |
| | Kilo tons per year of Star Dust deposited on the earth | 14,000 | Kilotons |
| | | | |
| | Tons of Star Dust per year | 14,000,000 | Tons |
| | | | |
| | Pounds of Star Dust per year (Tons x 2000 lbs/ton) | 28,000,000,000 | Pounds |
| | | | |
| | Area of the earth in sq miles | 196,935,000 | Square miles |
| | | | |
| | Pounds of Star Dust per square mile/yr, worldwide | 142 | Pounds |
| | | | |
| | Area of Minnesota in sq miles | 79,548 | Square miles |
| | | | |
| | Pounds of Star Dust deposited on Minnesota per year | 11,295,816 | Pounds |
| | | | |
| | Number of years for one pound of star dust to accumulate on one square foot of Todd Dewhurst's back yard =(1 lbs div by 142 lbs per sq mi per yr) x (5280 ft per mi * 5280 ft per mi) | 196,327 | Years |
| | | | |
| | Just food for thought | | |
