The most significant problem with C-14 dating is the
assumption that C-14 decays at a constant rate.

It has been shown in a laboratory (I can't remember
the guys name off hand but I can look it up) that when
C-14 is placed across a potential difference ie. in an
electrical field, the rate of decay speeds up significantly

This means that everytime an electrical storms passes
by the C-14 is decayed much more rapidly than usual.

Therefore, the dates obtained always indicate older ages.

cheers,
Andrew
