That doesn't mean the conclusions of dating objects and eons is accurate.
Scientists like us believe that the only way truth can be found is through analysis of data gathered from careful observation, analysis and experimentation. This method has been extremely successful for the last 400 years in every sphere of knowledge. The conclusions of dating follow all these principles and is based on millions of man-hours of data gathering, experimentation and theoretical analysis of experts over the last 40-50 years. It has held up to scrutiny again and again....it has been found consistent with what other fields show and is coherent with the general body of natural sciences. The methods used are widely applied in all fields of physics and engineering. All of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering needs to be wrong for the dating methods to be so eggregeously wrong. And we know it won't happen because our successful technologies work every day using these principles.
So unless we live in a Matrix like VR world and this entire experience is a hallucination....the dating techniques and its conclusions are true and accurate. That is how it is.
Here is the list of technologies that use the same principles that are also used in radiometric dating. Its a settled science.
The diverse applications of radioisotopes in modern-day industry
Modern applications of industrial isotopes
Sealed radioactive sources are widely used in industrial radiography, gauging applications and for mineral analysis.
Radioactive materials have a key role to play in the inspection of metal parts and the integrity of welds, using industrial gamma radiography to inspect critical internal components for defects.
Within manufacturing, radioisotopes act as industrial tracers to monitor filtration and the flow of fluids, to locate leaks, to gauge wear and to monitor the corrosion of equipment.
In the oil and gas industry, radiotracers are used to determine the extent of oil fields, to log formation parameters, to determine injection profiles and to locate cracks caused by hydraulic fracturing.
Gamma radiography also been successfully put to use in inspecting the integrity of critical civil structures such as hospitals, schools, civic buildings etc in the aftermath of natural disasters such as the devastating earthquake in Nepal in 2015.
Nucleonic gauges are especially useful where the presence of corrosive substances, pressure or heat make it difficult, or impossible, to use direct contact gauges.
In addition they also offer the key advantage of being employed without requiring any direct physical contact with the material or the product being examined.
