This meticulous, atom-by-atom analysis, conducted at Northwestern University, revealed how atoms within the zircon crystals had undergone radioactive decay. This decay process converts unstable elements, such as uranium, into more stable elements, like lead. By studying the proportions of theseHeck aptly likens this radiometric dating process to an hourglass, where the accumulation of sand in the lower bulb signifies the passage of time.
