Radiometric dating, which is based on ratios of radioactive and daughter isotopes, readily yields dates much older than 6,000 years. Tree ring data can also be used for such purposes. While no living tree is more than 6,000 years old, it is possible to correlate rings on one tree with rings in and older wood sample and so on, which can produce dates older than 6,000 years. It is also possible to date ice cores based on accumulation rates.

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.


What Radiocarbon dating cannot reliably date anything older than about?

Radiocarbon dating cannot reliably date anything older than about 50,000 years due to the half-life of carbon-14 and its limited ability to accurately measure extremely old samples. Beyond this timeframe, other dating methods like uranium-lead dating or thermoluminescence dating are more suitable for determining the age of older materials.
