What if we carbon dated something from the future?

Asked by XOIIO (18328points) February 12th, 2013

So carbon dating works based on how much carbon 14 has decayed, but I was wondering, say somehow some rock or something from the future ended up in our time, what would happen if it was carbon dated? What would the scientists see exactly? Could they tell it was from the future?
