I didn’t think carbon dating was that accurate.
I met my match at EcarbonHarmony.com
C14 (Carbon-14) dating is based on a ratio of C-14 to C-12, a ration that remains in stasis in living things but begins to decline at the death of the organism. Theoretically, so much isotopic decay occurs in half-life steps that at about 50,000 years there is nothing left of the original C-14. Therefore, C-14 should work great for near-term events 5000-10,000 years ago, but become dramatically less accurate going further back, and utterly useless after 50K years.
“I didn’t think carbon dating was that accurate.”
Only for artifacts dated to be under 6,000 years of age.
