Thanks Astronuc, I was wondering about that possibility. The only problem I'm having is, if the theory prediction is 100% correct, Rutherford should have seen a decay curve first, then a recovery, because the curve he would have seen was being affected by the radioactivity of the new daughter...

Thanks Peter, I know it's been a while. I saw I might have gotten a warning. I appreciate your help on how they actually do the counts. I'm not trying to debate, because I am really not a physics student. I do like chemistry though, so I do understand a little in that area. But particle...

Yes, thank you. I have gotten that before, so you have helped to confirm it. Okay I wonder if you might help me in half-lives. I looked up the equation one time and it's like no-way dude. I'm into cytology, biology, chemistry and stuff like that, so really it's kind of like a hidden...

Hello, Newbie here. Not a physics guy, so don't blast me. But I have read they are able to bereave atoms in the lab in the completely ionized state. What about the sun or nebulaes--that is believed to be ionized gas isn't it? So there could theoretically be some atoms with no electrons...

Hello everyone, Newbie here. I am student/enthusiast of science but tend to stay away from physics. This excerpt is written by creationist John Woodmorappe concerning accelerated nuclear decay done in the lab, and I was wondering if there was anyone here would like to critique it. I'm not...
