Question

What is carbon dating ??

Answer 1

Carbon dating, or radiocarbon dating, is a method used to date materials that once exchanged carbon dioxide with the atmosphere. In other words, things that were living. In the late 1940s, an American physical chemist named Willard Libby first developed a method to measure radioactivity of carbon-14, a radioactive isotope. Libby was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work in 1960.
