The age of a rock in years is its absolute age. Absolute ages are much different from relative ages. The way of determining them is different, too. Absolute ages are determined by radiometric methods, such as carbon-14 dating. These methods depend on radioactive decay.

I would say false, because to find the ABSOLUTE age of a rock, scientists have to preform radioactive dating.
I hope this helped! :-)
