resetting of the radiometric clock

English to Spanish Science Archaeology A religious book about the Creation/evolution debate
Once one admits (as these experts do) that a significant proportion of dates are in error on account of ‘contamination’, material transfer, isotopic equalization (‘***resetting of the radiometric clock***’) and other hypothesized events, then the question arises as to how one differentiates an erroneous date from a true one. The answer to this question is surprising indeed, for it amounts to a calibration of the radiometric clock by the stratigraphical rates [i.e. supposed evolutionary slow rate of formation of the rock strata]. So, far from the radiometric time-scale providing an ‘absolute’ calibration of the geological column, we find the reverse is, in practice, the case.

puesta a cero del reloj barométrico

No estoy completamente seguro, pero hice una búsqueda y encontré que ese instrumento sí se "va a cero" en determinadas circunstancias.
