The discovery of radioactivity in the late 1800s enabled absolute dating, the assignment of numerical ages to events in the Earth’s history, using decay of unstable radioactive isotopes.

Working out Earth’s history ...The geologic time scale and basic outline of Earth’s history were worked out long before we had any scientific means of assigning ages in years to events of Earth history. Working out Earth’s history depended on realizing some key principles of relative time which just allows for an ordering of events. When we assign ages to events we call that absolute time.
