# Get carbon dating Andhra aunty sex dating

For an example, when they tried to get the carbon dating for presence of Aboriginal people in Australia they get to the number 40,000. Why is that 40,000 years limit for carbon dating methods?

Carbon-14 makes up about 1 part per trillion of the carbon atoms around us, and this proportion remains roughly constant due to continual production of carbon-14 from cosmic rays.

Thus it appears that God probably created those elements when He made the original earth.

In contrast, radiocarbon forms continually today in the earth’s upper atmosphere.

For example, let's say you can measure the 14/12 C ratio to be $f \pm \delta f$ (in a system of units where the original ratio was expected to be 1).

Crudely speaking, what you do next is to extrapolate a decay curve back in time to see how long ago the sample would have had $f=1$.

Since the atmosphere is composed of about 78% nitrogen,2 a lot of radiocarbon atoms are produced—in total about 16.5 pounds (7.5 kg) per year.

The half life of carbon-14 is about 5,700 years, so if we measure the proportion of C-14 in a sample and discover it's half a part per trillion, i.e.

half the original level, we know the sample is around one half life or 5,700 years old.

Thus $$f = \exp[-\lambda \tau]$$ $$\ln f = -\lambda \tau$$ $$\frac = |-\lambda \delta\tau |$$ $$\delta \tau = \frac \frac$$ So say your ability to measure $f$ was limited to $\pm 0.02$ because of potential contamination or other complications, then $$\delta \tau = \frac\ \tag$$ If $f=0.5$ (i.e something that is just 5730 years old), then your uncertainty would be a perhaps tolerable $\pm 330$ years.

However, if $f=0.0079$ (for 40,000 years old), then the uncertainty would be a less-than-useful $\pm 20,800$ years.
