minus-squareSaledovil@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days agoAtoms don’t age. They don’t mature, and they don’t change with time. Unstable isotopes decay at random, but the decay probability never changes. So you can legally date carbon that’s 0 years old, if you find any. Most carbon will be much older than you.
