Abstract: The Dating Calibration Calculator integrates Fomenko’s New Chronology and a novel Stone Calibration to address discrepancies in radiometric and historical dating methods. By applying calibrated discrepancy factors (DF) to reported ages, it provides corrected age estimates for various dating techniques, including Radiocarbon, K-Ar, Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, U-Pb, Archaeological, Fomenko, and Stone methods. The calculator accounts for systematic errors in dating, offering corrected ages with error margins in years, alongside DF values with their uncertainties. This tool is designed for researchers and enthusiasts exploring alternative chronologies and the reliability of dating methods across geological and historical contexts.

Step 1: Input the Reported Age
Enter the reported age of your sample in the "Reported Age" field. This is the age provided by the dating method you wish to calibrate (e.g., 11 ka for a radi-carbon date).
Step 2: Select the Unit
Choose the unit of the reported age from the dropdown menu: years, ka (thousands of years), or Ma (millions of years). For example, select "ka" if your input is in thousands of years.
Step 3: Review the Output
The calculator will display a table with the following columns for each dating method:
Example: For a reported age of 11 ka (11000 years), the Radiocarbon method might show a corrected age of "2.20 ±0.44 ka" (2200 ±440 years) with a DF of "5.00 ±20%". This means the corrected age is 2200 years, with an uncertainty of ±440 years, and the discrepancy factor is 5 with a 20% uncertainty.
Note: The calculator automatically updates as you change the input. Ensure the reported age is greater than 0 to avoid "N/A" results.
Figure 1 - Discrepancy Factors: This bar chart visualizes the Discrepancy Factor (DF) for 29 samples, including Fomenko’s examples from Volumes I-IV (e.g., Shroud of Turin, Antioch Lance). DF, the ratio of erroneous to expected age, ranges from 0.75 (underestimation) to 153 (extreme error). A logarithmic Y-axis accommodates this range, comparing dating accuracy across geological and historical contexts, with Fomenko Calibration challenging Scaligerian chronology.
Figure 2 - Discrepancy vs. Expected Age: This mixed chart plots DF against Expected Age (EA) for 29 samples, integrating Fomenko’s medieval shifts and a new Stone Calibration. For EA < 10,000 years (radiocarbon), \(\text{DF} \approx \frac{5000}{\text{EA}} \quad (\pm 20\%)\). For EA > 1M years (radiometric), \(\text{DF} \approx 1 + 1.5 \times e^{-\frac{\text{EA}}{1.5 \times 10^9}} \quad (\pm 0.1)\). Fomenko Calibration adds a ~1000-year shift for historical events. Stone Calibration uses an exponential decay: \(\text{DF} = 1 + 100 \times e^{-0.6 \times \log_{10}(\text{EA})} \quad (\pm 20\%)\), starting at ~42.2 for EA = 10 years and approaching 1.31 for EA = 5 billion years. Red, green, blue, and purple lines model these trends over cyan points on logarithmic scales. The shaded purple area represents the ±20% error margin for the Stone Calibration.
