Why cant carbon-14 be used to date material that is older than 75000 years?

Carbon has a half life of 5730 years. That means that after 5730 years there'll only be half the amount left. After about 11500 there will be a quarter of the original. After 75000 years there will be about 0.0001 of the original sample which is too small to date accurately?

What year was potassium made?

Potassium is an element... it was created when the universe began, which, according to current theories, was between 13.6 and 13.8 billion years ago. Unfortunately, science has not discovered the specific date that the Big Bang happened. However, for the sake of the prompt, I will hazard a guess... June 23rd, 13,700,000,001 B.C.E.

What is the definition of potassium argon?

Potassium-argon dating is a method used to determine the age of rocks based on the decay of radioactive potassium-40 into argon-40. By measuring the ratio of these isotopes in a sample, scientists can calculate how long it has been since the rock formed. This dating technique is commonly used to date volcanic rocks and minerals.

Why is potassium-40 used to date objects older than 50000 years old?

Potassium-40 is used to date objects older than 50,000 years because it has a long half-life of 1.3 billion years, allowing for dating of very old samples. When potassium-40 decays, it turns into argon-40, which can be measured to determine the age of the sample.


What would happen if your date is 4 years older than you?

The lighter side of life...If your date is 4 years older than you, then a magic purple monkey will erupt out of your head when he/she kisses you goodnight. If your date is 6 years older, then the monkey will be lime green. I just don't really understand the wording of the question. "What would happen if your date is 4 years older than you?" Nothing would "happen." If your date is 4 years older, then you will be going on a date with someone who is 4 years older. That your date is 4 years older is simply a fact, not an action that results in a predictable outcome.It's like asking, "What happens when your teeth are clean?" Nothing "happens." Your teeth are just clean.

How many years ago is 1520 AD?

1520 AD is 491 years ago, as of 2011. To calculate how many years ago something was, use this formula: current year - older date = how many years ago for example: how many years ago was 1934 (older date)? 1934 is the older date, and 2011 is the current date so therefore: 2011-1934=77

When you get older, you should be able to date whomever you want. A guy 17 years older than you is old enough to be your father, that may be too old for you. However, it will be up to you. Whoever you date, hopefully your parents will have no objections.
