82 chars

Generation

Radiometric dating allows scientists to determine the absolute age of rocks, fossils, and geological events by measuring the decay of radioactive isotopes. This technique has been crucial for establishing Earth's age at approximately 4.5 billion years old and creating an accurate timeline of evolutionary history and geological processes. It provides objective, numerical dates rather than just relative age estimates.
