He measured the half-life of Carbon-14 to be about 5,568 years. However after about 50,000 years there is so little Carbon-14 left in the specimen that it is very hard, almost impossible, to calculate its age. (Van Der Merwe) Libby ran many tests on items where the age was known, or estimated by other means.
Carbon dating has been debunked because we've done tests where we take an object that is only 10 years old and it says that it's millions of years old. Then we take a fossil that is supposed to be millions of years old, and the test comes back that it's only 50,000 years old.
