    B How does carbon 14 have such a perfect halflife?

    Thanks for your time and insight in assisting me gain an improved perspective of my proposal. The radioactivity decay law can be stated that the probability per unit time that a nucleus will decay is a constant, independent of time, or the number of atoms likely to decay in a given...

    B How does carbon 14 have such a perfect halflife?

    Thanks for your valuable insight into my perception of why I believe that two atoms, one that will decay within the next hour and one that will decay in more than 5,000 years are not identical. In the excellent analogy of tossing coins, one realizes that in reality, there are multiple factors...

    I Universe expansion discrepancy vs accelerated expansion

    Just wondering if the study in the International Journal of Modern Physics by Eric Lerner from Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Renato Falomo of the Astronomical Observatory in Italy and Riccardo Scarlatti from the Institute of Astrophysics in Spain that the surface brightness of the near and far...

    B How does carbon 14 have such a perfect halflife?

    As a physicist, I'm going to pose a philosophical viewpoint to this whole decay concept. Theoretically, if one started with 1,000 atoms and were able to identify, separate and isolate the 500 atoms that were going to decay sometime within 5700 years, one would end up with the remaining...

    I How much energy does a fission nuke actually release?

    How is the energy stored in the molecules and atoms to represent Einstein's conservation of mass and energy equation? Fission of enriched U is only tapping into one atomic energy source and via chain reaction it yields energy representing only 0.1 % of the original mass. Therefore, one would...
