Hello
I am interested if there is yet a theory that states or has relationships that can be interpreted as stating the age of an elemetary particle. For example, if a neutron just sits around (unbounded) passing the time, does it know that it is not allowed to survive a certain age?
This question is triggered by a line I read (in an elementary particles physics book or maybe quantum theory book and it seemed like a personal comment of the author, not a scientific trend) saying something like "neutrons do not know how old they are". I can't remember what book it was in. Does this seem familiar to anybody?
Any kind of help is appreciated
Thanks
