If you measure the state of the nucleus in two different times, even if they are just a second apart, because radioactive decay follows a strict mathematical formula, we van calculate the half life.

No. The half life of the reference elements are too long. The only rocks that can actually be dated are igneous or metamorphosed igneous rocks. The known ages of rock formations have never been experimentally verified to my knowledge. It would make for good science to do this though, before concluding that it works.

Not sure but I can guess. Igneous rocks are formed by a process of magma (melted rock) cristalization, very high temperature. Under these temperature lead evaporates so It's unlikely to find lead in this environment. Besides that, you do many measurements so that you treat the problema statisticaly.

When the zircon formed, it trapped isotopes inside it. There are two kinds of isotopes in it: U235 and U238. Scientists already know the half-life of these isotopes, and half-lifes reveal the rate of decay for each specific isotope. They analyze the isotopes found in the zircon, see how much the isotopes have decayed, and do the math which is represented by the stop watches in the video. Since U235 has a shorter half-life than U238, it will have decayed further inside the zircon. The math is basically cross referencing the stage of decay in each isotope to determine a range that would likely be the age of the zircon itself.

Thank you for this video. I still have a question though, are we really finding the date of formation of the rock ? Is it not possible that at start there was already daughter isotopes. How can we know how what the ratio was at that moment ? And where do these isotopes come from ? Shouldn't that source produce both the parent isotope and the daughter isotope ? I feel there is a problem with the initial condition, what is said is that, at formation, there was only radioactive isotopes and based on that we can get the time it took for them to reach the measured ratio. What am I missing ?

@WhyPhi

2 жыл бұрын

If I’m not mistaken the conditions at formation are such that the decay product is not expected to be present. For example the decay product of uranium is lead, and under the conditions of formation of these rocks, lead will evaporate. So it is assumed that any lead found is the result of radioactive decay of uranium. Furthermore as they mentioned, the crystal structure of the sample rock does not allow for lead to enter the “capsule”. Hope this helps, I am not an expert but I have education in chemistry; still double check what I say here as I have not read into this for some time.

@@richardblazer8070 Most isotopes found on Earth are generally stable and do not change. However some isotopes, like 14C, have an unstable nucleus and are radioactive. This means that occasionally the unstable isotope will change its number of protons, neutrons, or both. This change is called radioactive decay. For example, unstable 14C transforms to stable nitrogen (14N). The atomic nucleus that decays is called the parent isotope. The product of the decay is called the daughter isotope. In the example, 14C is the parent and 14N is the daughter. Some minerals in rocks and organic matter (e.g., wood, bones, and shells) can contain radioactive isotopes. The abundances of parent and daughter isotopes in a sample can be measured and used to determine their age. This method is known as RADIOMETRIC DATING.

I can't explain it accurately but I've read it somewhere. To determine half-life, you examine the activity of that particular radioactive isotope. So you basically observe how many grams(?) of that isotope is decaying per second or minute and you'll be able to get the decay constant and the rest is using mathematics and equations (law of radioactive decay). We'll be able to determine the half-life. Inside a rock, they keep decaying and we can calculate how many half-lives have passed again using math.

Geologists only think and talk about periods of millions of years. They have different methods for determining the age of rock layers. However, there is one small problem. Ancient books tell us that a cycle of natural disasters threatens the earth and all living things. The cause of this cycle of disasters is a ninth planet in our solar system orbiting the sun in an eccentric orbit. Features of the natural disaster include a massive tidal wave, higher than the highest mountain, flooding, storms, rain, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and a fiery asteroid bombardment. That planet is surrounded by a gigantic twisting cloud of dust and meteorites. That cloud obscures the atmosphere, pollutes the water and covers the whole planet Earth with that dust. At the end of the crossing of this planet 9, the earth is covered with a horizontal layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of sea and land animals, shells and the deposit of that dust cloud and asteroids. So in every layer on our planet we will find material of the same antiquity, perhaps many millions of years old: the deposit of extraterrestrial clay and meteorites. Even the youngest, topmost earth layer, which is less than 6,000 years old, also includes the same very old deposit. If you don't know about this cycle, you have no idea how our history has evolved. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the re-creation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

You can only get the theoretical maximum of a rock. You have to be sure there was no lead in the specimen prior to the uranium:lead comparison. You also have to use other element comparisons in the rock that might show a shorter 'theoretical maximum'. Either the rocks are that old, or the ratios of elements in those rocks tend to have a certain amount of uranium:lead or rubidium:strontium, etc. and it is essentially meaningless except to determine an absolute theoretical maximum of when the rock was formed. Different types of specimens in the different parts of the rocks showing differing dates are evidence that the specimen tested is not merely a parent:daughter ratio but is actually a ratio of uranium:lead original content.

queeevvaaa

why does he barely move his mouth

Three critical assumptions can affect the results during radioisotope dating: 1. The initial conditions of the rock sample are accurately known. 2. The amount of parent or daughter elements in a sample has not been altered by processes other than radioactive decay. 3. The decay rate (or half-life) of the parent isotope has remained constant since the rock was formed. There are three possible explanations for discordant isotope dates. 1. There may be a mixing of isotopes between the volcanic flow and the rock body into which the lava intrudes. There are ways to determine if this has occurred and can be eliminated as a possible explanation. 2. Some of the minerals may have solidified at different times. However, there is no evidence that lava cools and solidifies in the same place at such an incredibly slow pace. Therefore this explanation can be eliminated. 3. The decay rates have been different in the past than they are today. The following section will show that this provides the best explanation for the discordant ages. In 1997, a team of eight research scientists known as the RATE group (Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth) set out to investigate the assumptions commonly made in standard radioisotope dating practices (also referred to as single-sample radioisotope dating). Their findings were significant and directly impact the evolutionary dates of millions of years. L. Vardiman, A.A. Snelling and E.F. Chaffin (Eds.), Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth: Results of a Young-Earth Creationist Research Initiative, Institute for Creation Research, Santee, California, and Creation Research Society, St. Joseph, Missouri, 2000. D. DeYoung, Thousands … Not Billions, Master Books, Green Forest, Arkansas, 2005. A rock sample from the newly formed 1986 lava dome from Mount St. Helens was dated using Potassium-Argon dating. The newly formed rock gave ages for the different minerals in it of between 0.5 and 2.8 million years. SOURCE: S.A. Austin, Excess argon within mineral concentrates from the new dacite lava dome at Mount St Helens volcano, Creation Ex Nihilo Technical Journal 10(3): 335-343, 1996. In one specific case, samples were taken from the Cardenas Basalt, which is among the oldest strata in the eastern Grand Canyon. Next, samples from the western Canyon basalt lava flows, which are among the youngest formations in the canyon, were analyzed. Using the rubidium-strontium isochron dating method, an age of 1.11 billion years was assigned to the oldest rocks and a date of 1.14 billion years to the youngest lava flows. The youngest rocks gave a billion year age the same as the oldest rocks! Lead Isotope Paradox - well-known problem of volcanic material from eruptions known to have occured in history which give long ages "In our three article series on radiometric dating, we discuss in depth the assumptions that scientists must make. For example, it has to be assumed that all the daughter isotopes found in rocks today have been derived by radioactive decay of the parent isotopes. It also has to be assumed that the rate of decay of the parent isotopes in the past has occurred constantly at the same rates measured today. There is absolutely no way any scientist can know whether these two assumptions are correct, because the evidence only exists today in the present, and we can’t go back to test the past millions of years and check that the rates of radioactive decay were the same then as they are now." - Dr. Andrew A. Snelling, geologist, on December 30, 2011 answersingenesis.org/geology/radiometric-dating/radiometric-dating-and-proof/ According to Geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling, the Cardenas Basalt Lavas have been dated with different methods and vastly different ages were produced: Potassium-Argon: 516 MY, Rubidium-Strontium: 1,111 MY, Samarium-Neodynium: 1,588 MY The 1986 dacite flow on Mount St Helens been Potassium-Argon (K-Ar) dated as 350K YA. Mt Ngauruhoe has erupted several times in the past 50 years. Mount Ngauruhoe is located on the North Island of New Zealand and is one of the country’s most active volcanoes. Eleven samples were taken from solidified lava and dated. These rocks are known to have formed from eruptions in 1949, 1954, and 1975. The rock samples were sent to a respected commercial laboratory (Geochron Laboratories in Cambridge, Massachusetts). The “ages” of the rocks ranged from 0.27 to 3.5 million years old, which is a 1,000,000% error. The Unikaret lava flows at the bottom of the Grand Canyon has been radiometrically dated as 10,000 YA, 117 MYA, 715 MYA, 853 MYA, 1.1 BYA, 1.39 BYA, 2.6 BYA. "Although some scientists using carbon-14 will propose dates extending back 50,000 years, Dr George Howe acknowledges that "the men who know the limits of the method, the men who run the tests, would report that they cannot date with accuracy beyond 3,000 years." - George Howe, Carbon 14 and Other Radio-Active Dating Methods, p.11 the Cardenas Basalt under the Grand Canoyon gives similar dates as the Unikaret Lava Flow which flowed from above the canyon to it's bottom and once blocked the flow of the Colorado River in the canyon. Australia’s “Burning Mountain” speaks against radiometric dating and the millions of years belief system. According to radiometric dating of the lava intrusion that set the coal alight, the coal in the burning mountain has been burning for ~40 million years, but clearly this is not feasible. "Whatever the figures arrived at by the dating tests, they are weeded out before publication in scientific journals, if they do not accord with the preconceived dates assigned to the evolutionary geological column." - E.H.

They are similar, but there should be less in the deep ones due to the higher heat causing higher diffusion rates over the usual long ages supposed. If the ages are thousands of years, there would not be expected to be much difference, which is the case (Gentry, R., et al., Differential lead retention in zircons: Implications for nuclear waste containment, Science 216(4543):296-298, 1982; DOI: 10.1126/science.216.4543.296). Pleochroic halos produced in granite by concentrated specks of short half-life elements such as polonium suggest a period of rapid nuclear decay of the long half-life parent isotopes during the formation of the rocks and rapid formation of the rocks, both of which speak against the usual ideas of geological deep time and a vast age of the earth. See, Radiohalos: Startling evidence of catastrophic geologic processes, Creation28(2):46-50, 2006. Squashed pleochroic halos (radiohalos) formed from decay of polonium, a very short half-life element, in coalified wood from several geological eras suggest rapid formation of all the layers about the same time, in the same process, consistent with the biblical “young” earth model rather than the millions of years claimed for these events.

@@mikestarkly9226 Three critical assumptions can affect the results during radioisotope dating: 1. The initial conditions of the rock sample are accurately known. 2. The amount of parent or daughter elements in a sample has not been altered by processes other than radioactive decay. 3. The decay rate (or half-life) of the parent isotope has remained constant since the rock was formed. There are three possible explanations for discordant isotope dates. 1. There may be a mixing of isotopes between the volcanic flow and the rock body into which the lava intrudes. There are ways to determine if this has occurred and can be eliminated as a possible explanation. 2. Some of the minerals may have solidified at different times. However, there is no evidence that lava cools and solidifies in the same place at such an incredibly slow pace. Therefore this explanation can be eliminated. 3. The decay rates have been different in the past than they are today. The following section will show that this provides the best explanation for the discordant ages. In 1997, a team of eight research scientists known as the RATE group (Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth) set out to investigate the assumptions commonly made in standard radioisotope dating practices (also referred to as single-sample radioisotope dating). Their findings were significant and directly impact the evolutionary dates of millions of years. L. Vardiman, A.A. Snelling and E.F. Chaffin (Eds.), Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth: Results of a Young-Earth Creationist Research Initiative, Institute for Creation Research, Santee, California, and Creation Research Society, St. Joseph, Missouri, 2000. D. DeYoung, Thousands … Not Billions, Master Books, Green Forest, Arkansas, 2005. A rock sample from the newly formed 1986 lava dome from Mount St. Helens was dated using Potassium-Argon dating. The newly formed rock gave ages for the different minerals in it of between 0.5 and 2.8 million years. SOURCE: S.A. Austin, Excess argon within mineral concentrates from the new dacite lava dome at Mount St Helens volcano, Creation Ex Nihilo Technical Journal 10(3): 335-343, 1996. In one specific case, samples were taken from the Cardenas Basalt, which is among the oldest strata in the eastern Grand Canyon. Next, samples from the western Canyon basalt lava flows, which are among the youngest formations in the canyon, were analyzed. Using the rubidium-strontium isochron dating method, an age of 1.11 billion years was assigned to the oldest rocks and a date of 1.14 billion years to the youngest lava flows. The youngest rocks gave a billion year age the same as the oldest rocks! Lead Isotope Paradox - well-known problem of volcanic material from eruptions known to have occured in history which give long ages "In our three article series on radiometric dating, we discuss in depth the assumptions that scientists must make. For example, it has to be assumed that all the daughter isotopes found in rocks today have been derived by radioactive decay of the parent isotopes. It also has to be assumed that the rate of decay of the parent isotopes in the past has occurred constantly at the same rates measured today. There is absolutely no way any scientist can know whether these two assumptions are correct, because the evidence only exists today in the present, and we can’t go back to test the past millions of years and check that the rates of radioactive decay were the same then as they are now." - Dr. Andrew A. Snelling, geologist, on December 30, 2011 answersingenesis.org/geology/radiometric-dating/radiometric-dating-and-proof/ According to Geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling, the Cardenas Basalt Lavas have been dated with different methods and vastly different ages were produced: Potassium-Argon: 516 MY, Rubidium-Strontium: 1,111 MY, Samarium-Neodynium: 1,588 MY The 1986 dacite flow on Mount St Helens been Potassium-Argon (K-Ar) dated as 350K YA. Mt Ngauruhoe has erupted several times in the past 50 years. Mount Ngauruhoe is located on the North Island of New Zealand and is one of the country’s most active volcanoes. Eleven samples were taken from solidified lava and dated. These rocks are known to have formed from eruptions in 1949, 1954, and 1975. The rock samples were sent to a respected commercial laboratory (Geochron Laboratories in Cambridge, Massachusetts). The “ages” of the rocks ranged from 0.27 to 3.5 million years old, which is a 1,000,000% error. The Unikaret lava flows at the bottom of the Grand Canyon has been radiometrically dated as 10,000 YA, 117 MYA, 715 MYA, 853 MYA, 1.1 BYA, 1.39 BYA, 2.6 BYA. "Although some scientists using carbon-14 will propose dates extending back 50,000 years, Dr George Howe acknowledges that "the men who know the limits of the method, the men who run the tests, would report that they cannot date with accuracy beyond 3,000 years." - George Howe, Carbon 14 and Other Radio-Active Dating Methods, p.11 the Cardenas Basalt under the Grand Canoyon gives similar dates as the Unikaret Lava Flow which flowed from above the canyon to it's bottom and once blocked the flow of the Colorado River in the canyon. Australia’s “Burning Mountain” speaks against radiometric dating and the millions of years belief system. According to radiometric dating of the lava intrusion that set the coal alight, the coal in the burning mountain has been burning for ~40 million years, but clearly this is not feasible. "Whatever the figures arrived at by the dating tests, they are weeded out before publication in scientific journals, if they do not accord with the preconceived dates assigned to the evolutionary geological column." - E.H. Andrews, Professor of Materials, University of London, and Head of the Department of Materials at Queen Mary College, in book, God, Science and Evolution “The intelligent layman has long suspected circular reasoning in the use of rocks to date fossils and fossils to date rocks.” - J.E. O’Rourke, American Journal of Science, 1976, 276:51. "In general, dates in the 'correct ball park' are assumed to be correct and are published, but those in disagreement with other data are seldom published nor are discrepancies fully explained." - Richard L. Mauger, Associate Professor of Geology, East Carolina University, K-Ar Ages of Biotites From Tuffs in Eocene Rocks of the Green River, Washakie, and Uinta Basins, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado, Contributions to Geology, University of Wyoming, vol.15-1, 1977, p.37 "Geochron Laboratories will return samples to clients if they give a date above 3,000 years, with comments that they are above the age that can be accurately dated." - George Howe, University of California Santa Barbara, Carbon 14 and Other Radio-Active Dating Methods, p.11 The amount of helium, a product of alpha-decay of radioactive elements, retained in zircons in granite is consistent with an age of 6,000±2000 years, not the supposed billions of years. See: Humphreys, D.R., Young helium diffusion age of zircons supports accelerated nuclear decay, in Vardiman, Snelling, and Chaffin (eds.), Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth: Results of a Young Earth Creationist Research Initiative, Institute for Creation Research and Creation Research Society, 848 pp., 2005 Lead in zircons from deep drill cores vs. shallow ones. They are similar, but there should be less in the deep ones due to the higher heat causing higher diffusion rates over the usual long ages supposed. If the ages are thousands of years, there would not be expected to be much difference, which is the case (Gentry, R., et al., Differential lead retention in zircons: Implications for nuclear waste containment, Science 216(4543):296-298, 1982; DOI: 10.1126/science.216.4543.296). Pleochroic halos produced in granite by concentrated specks of short half-life elements such as polonium suggest a period of rapid nuclear decay of the long half-life parent isotopes during the formation of the rocks and rapid formation of the rocks, both of which speak against the usual ideas of geological deep time and a vast age of the earth. See, Radiohalos: Startling evidence of catastrophic geologic processes, Creation28(2):46-50, 2006. Squashed pleochroic halos (radiohalos) formed from decay of polonium, a very short half-life element, in coalified wood from several geological eras suggest rapid formation of all the layers about the same time, in the same process, consistent with the biblical “young” earth model rather than the millions of years claimed for these events.

@hozn - 1.) All life on Earth IS related, though sometimes many times removed, like your banana. 2.) It sounds like you are putting your faith in science into the hands of non-scientists.

Unfortunately nobody go go back to when the rocks were formed to see what the isotopes were doing so it's just guesswork, if you make up the figures yourself to begin with then any decay is irrelevant. All coal would have to be 50000 years old or less if I was to believe what this video said, when you see a hammer handle turning into coal then it obviously happens quite quick.

Do you have any evidence to support that assertion _ryan?_

Here’s the big problem with radiometric dating. They took the newly formed rocks after the mount Saint Helens eruption in 1980s. It has came up with dates varying from 500,000 years ago to two .1 billion years ago. Not one time when we know the exact age of newly formed rocks from volcanic activity.Has a radiometric dating even came close in the age of the rocks. Furthermore, that they perform multiple radiometric dating tests. That show different results on a very very vast scale. It is worth noting that when they used radiocarbon dating on Mount St. Helens.The dates are there testing came up with. We’re completely in accurate. So it makes you wonder why they still use these methods as proof at the age of the world. It is because it takes a lie to support ally. That is if this lie is exposed then the theory of evolution falls completely apart. The two major things that evolution and creation is him has in common is. They both take faith to believe in them.

@CelestialxPanda - Re-watch the video. In order to get measurable isotopes, enough time has to pass for daughter isotopes to form. Using Carbon-14 decay into Nitrogen-14, the dead organic matter has to fall within the 100 to 50,000 (maybe 60,00 at the most) year window. If you had a freshly dead seal radiocarbon dated, you wasted your money, everybody's time, and disrespected the seal.

radiometric dating doesn't seem accurate to me, there's so much that doesn't add up you just don't put those things in the video, plus the bible says the earth is only 6,000 years old.

I mean I was wrong but you probably are too. There is no official proof of how old the earth is, and radiometric dating has been wrong before with those volcanic rocks that were dated as thousands of years old but we know that the volcano made those rocks around the 1950s, And I can't even remember which volcano it was I learned about it in school a couple years ago so sue me if I'm wrong.
