I just recently read about how we got to know the true age of the Earth but I am a bit confused and curious about one thing.
The mineral or rock is initially going to be a uranium right? If it is, isn't all of it going to decay at the same rate?
I know that a radioactive reaction is spontaneous but if it is, is it even possible to figure out the age of the rock with the same idea? Please help me out here and correct me if I am wrong. Thanks
