Oldest water on earth, in a Canadian mine

I suppose all protons are the same age and how they are configured is irrelevant?

My atoms are 13 billion years old or whatever it is. I guess you, me, and water are all the same age. After we die and desiccate our water will be joined to other fremen. Wait..

For some reason I can’t edit my comment so I’ll reply to it. Protons aren’t all the same age. One prominent example being radioactive decay (beta negative). I suppose most protons should be the same age but not all.
