Radioactive Carbon Dating
Also known as Carbon Dating or C-14 Dating or Radiocarbon Dating.
Premise
- Particles, Molecules, Atoms, Isotopes, Nuclear Stability and Radiation
- rough (Study of Particles, from a child's POV)
- What makes things different?
- Things seem to be different, yet some things that seem unique are combinations of other things
- Are all things that seem unique really combinations of other things too?
- But if that is so, how can "things that make up other things" exist in the first place "to make up other things"?

- But we also know that there are things that do exist, and have not been combined into other things yet

- Principle of Half-Life (Radioactive elements undergo a process of decay in a logarithmic scale, halving in amount every N years)
- Half-Life of C-14:
- Atmospheric C-12 (Stable) to C-14

Detection of Nuclear Testing
