Modern authors and scientists have expressed skepticism about the accuracy of carbon dating.
Robert Schoch - A geologist and professor at Boston University, Schoch has questioned the validity of radiocarbon dating, suggesting that it may be skewed by factors such as changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Richard Milton - A British author and science writer, Milton has written extensively about the problems with radiocarbon dating, arguing that it fails to account for fluctuations in atmospheric carbon-14 levels.
Gunnar Heinsohn - A German historian and archaeologist, Heinsohn has challenged the conventional chronology of ancient civilizations, proposing that radiocarbon dating has systematically underestimated the age of many artifacts and archaeological sites.
Immanuel Velikovsky - Although controversial, Velikovsky's works, such as "Worlds in Collision" and "Ages in Chaos," questioned the reliability of radiocarbon dating and proposed alternative explanations for the dating of various historical and geological events.
David Plaisted - A mathematician and physicist, Plaisted has published papers arguing that radiocarbon dating methods are flawed due to factors such as changes in the Earth's magnetic field and cosmic ray flux.
Ruggero Santilli - An Italian-American physicist, Santilli has proposed alternative models of nuclear reactions that could potentially affect the accuracy of radiocarbon dating techniques. These are just a few examples of modern scientists and authors who have challenged the mainstream acceptance of carbon dating as a reliable dating method. Their criticisms often focus on the potential for external factors, such as magnetic or environmental changes, to skew the results of radiocarbon dating, leading to inaccurate chronologies.
