        I’d get my stone from far in the future, then bury it in the past, so if they date it they’ll be like…“this is from 10 million years after today, that doesn’t make any sense.”

          Maximum confusion!

          Plis, you coukd start a new conspiracy. Imstead of “The Earth is only 6000 years old”, you can be all “The Earth is actually MUCH older, what is science hiding???”

          Atoms 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.
