It is only accurate from about 62,000 years ago to 1,200 A.D. There is a sizable amount of time before and after that period that cannot be investigated.

How long has there been radioactivity?

Radioactivity has existed since the formation of the Earth around 4.5 billion years ago. The discovery of radioactivity date back to the late 19th century, with Henri Becquerel and Marie Curie being prominent figures in its study.


Can radioactivity be canceled?

No, radioactivity cannot be canceled. Radioactivity is a natural process where unstable atomic nuclei release energy in the form of radiation. While the rate of radioactivity can decrease over time as the unstable nuclei decay, the process itself cannot be canceled.

How can radioactivity be used to to date rocks?

Radioactivity can be used to date rocks through a technique called radiometric dating, which measures the decay of radioactive isotopes within the minerals of the rock. When a rock forms, it contains a certain amount of a radioactive isotope, which decays into a stable daughter isotope at a known rate, known as its half-life. By measuring the ratio of the parent isotope to the daughter isotope in a rock sample, scientists can calculate the time that has elapsed since the rock was formed. This method is particularly useful for dating igneous and metamorphic rocks.


Marie curie discovered radioactivity?

NO. Henri Becquerel was the discoverer of radioactivity.
