Primes¶
- Exponentiation
This sourceDemonstrates radiocarbon dating using ¹⁴C half-life of 5,730 years; establishes that cosmic-ray-produced ¹⁴C in the atmosphere is incorporated into living organisms and decays predictably after death; revolutionary application of half-life to archaeology and geology.
- Half-Life
- Upon death, the organism stops exchanging carbon with the atmosphere; the ¹⁴C it contains decays with a half-life of 5,730 ± 40 years
