Time relativity relating to Carbon dating? [closed]
Theoretically if in early years the earth was moving at an astronomically different pace (whether in orbit or rotation, whatever sounds better) wouldn't that alter the science of carbon dating? … Would we not expect that carbon would decay faster? I know it's just theory but I'd like to know if this theory could be proven false. …

Can we carbon-date the remains of homo floresiensis found in 2003?
Shoudn't that mean radiocarbon dating would be a good method to date the reamains? … The Wikipedia entry on carbon dating says that it can only be used reliably to date specimens up to ~50,000 years, but could carbon dating then at least place a lower limit on the age of these remains? …

Is radiocarbon dating based on assumptions?
https://benpiper.com/2011/07/the-truth-about-carbon-dating/
The site above explains that Carbon-14 dating is based on a few assumptions, like to deduce the age of an organism by looking at the amount … It also states that other radiometric dating methods have similar problems and that these dating methods should be taken with a grain of salt. …

what is pMC percent modern carbon?
In material about carbon dating I see a lot of results expressed in pMC. For example I saw a 14C/C ratio of .12 pMC. My understanding is that the amount of 14C in carbon is about one trillionth. …

How do we know how much Uranium was in any given sample when it was deposited?
Concerning "Uranium-series dating", also known as "Uranium-thorium dating". … As an example, with carbon dating, the amount of carbon-14 originally present in any given sample is consistent with the amount of carbon-14 created by the activity of sunlight in the atmosphere. …

Radiometric dating data sets
I am in the process of learning what sort of data is collected with radiometric dating techniques, used for absolute dating. … There is also Uranium-lead dating, but I don't see much info on that one, so focusing here just on carbon and potassium-argon. …

Does the relative abundance of radioactive isotopes reflect their half-lives?
In Radiometric Dating: A Christian Perspective, the author argues (persuasively, I think) in favor of the mainstream interpretation of radiometric dating (as opposed to the claims of young earth creationists … Eg, excluding carbon-14 (produced in the atmosphere by cosmic rays), excluding thorium-230 (produced by the decay of uranium-234), etc. …
