Have you ever wondered about the accuracy of dates given for fossils, artifacts, geological strata, etc.? The more I dig the more I believe that most of these numbers are sheer fabrications.
Let's take a look at one of the most well known techniques: radiocarbon dating.

Radiocarbon dating is presented to us as settled science and is used to give legitimacy to the mainstream timeline of archaeology, anthropology, paleontology, geology and many other fields.

However, the technique was developed using a great number of assumptions which may lead the curious researcher to question the validity of the results.

Radiocarbon dating(akacarbon-14 dating) is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon, a radioactive isotope of carbon . The method was developed in the late 1940s at the University of Chicago by Willard Libby.

Radiocarbon dating would be most successful if two important factors were true:
1. That the concentration of carbon-14 in the atmosphere had been constant for thousands of years

2. That carbon-14 moved readily through the atmosphere, biosphere, oceans and other reservoirs—in a process known as the carbon cycle.

Willard Libby believed he could model the entire world of Carbon 14 by using a grid system. This grid system is based upon a cell size of one cm squared. In this grid system every cell is identical and every cell behaves in exactly the same way.

Therefore, Willard Libby’s world model contains only one cell of one square centimeter.

This one cell encapsulates the entire planet in miniature.

This cell shows the entire Carbon Cycle

And these illustrate the Carbon-14 cycle

Willard Libby’s single cell model was devised by playing the Carbon 14 numbers game.
Libby’s initial numerical challenge was the half-life decay process.

One strange statistical quirk of the half-life probabilities is that the period of time needed to complete the radioactive decay process depends upon the size of the original population.

For example:
1,024 radioactive atoms require 11 half-lives before they are completely decayed.
8,192 radioactive atoms require 14 half-lives before they are completely decayed.

This statistical quirk meant that Willard Libby had to know the size of the original Carbon 14 population before he could date a specimen containing radioactive Carbon 14.
However, Libby had a statistical card up his sleeve.

A second strange statistical quirk of the half-life probabilities is that the average age of the radioactive atoms (when they decay) stabilizes at 1.5 times the half-life when the second half-life cycle has been completed.

This second quirk led Libby to the inspirational realization that IF a population of C14 atoms could (somehow) remain constant...

THEN their average decay rate would remain constant and their average age (when they decayed) would remain constant at 1.5 times their half-life after the second half-life decay cycle was completed.

However, before Libby could develop a Radiocarbon Dating model he needed to nail down the half-life of Carbon 14.This was no easy task.
Eventually, Willard Libby settled on “the value of 5568 years” and “radiocarbon dates have always been given on this basis” to avoid confusion!

With the issue of the half-life settled Willard Libby needed to nail down a credible rate of production for Carbon 14 so that a decaying population of Carbon 14 atoms could become stable when it was continually topped-up with newly created Carbon 14 atoms.

Given the choice between “one or two atoms of carbon-14” Libby settled on a production rate of two atoms of Carbon 14 “each second for each cm2 of the Earth’s surface”.

He could then reverse engineer his envisaged stable population of Carbon 14 atoms. The reverse engineering simply involved calculating the number of Carbon 14 atoms that were needed to produce an average decay rate that exactly matched his chosen production rate of two per second

Libby sensibly decided to limited the accuracy of his model to two decimal places and thus defined the outer limit of Radiocarbon Dating to be 55,680 years.

The final step to complete the research was to reverse engineer a carbon reservoir size that could plausibly contain 527,147,333,650 atoms of Carbon 14.

Given the numerous layers of assumptions, uncertainties and probabilities that underpin this research it is hardly surprising that Willard Libby thought his “good fortune in many stages of this research was most miraculous”
I don't buy it personally

Congrats if you made it this far I know this is a bit dense. I wanted to demonstrate the fakery and arbitrary nature of this so called science. Completely fake and used to promote an agenda like so much else we see.

To be clear this is not my own research. This is from a most incredibly based site full of paradigm shattering concepts. malagabay.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/car…

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
