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
