planetary age

[dannyday5821]

i was thinking, lets say we managed to colonize all the planets in our tiny little galaxy. how would age be calculated? would we all use a universal way of measuring age, e.g. sticking to earth age, or do we start a new measurement on each different planet? these things will have to be carefully thought out when we really do start colonizing planets!

i think age would be referred to in "earth years"

Actually The Milky Way is not a tiny little galaxy but quite an impressive example of a giant barred galaxy.
