The Mystery of Atomic Half-life.

[Shadowprophet]

It was a long nap. So, I did a lot of studying in the field of subatomic physics. There is a lot to know about subatomic physics, From Quarks and Leptons and Hadrons and even the fractal charge of strings as they form quarks. But one thing I find really curious is the atomic half-life. What's funny about Half-life is it's the amount of time it takes for half of the atomic mass to decay into entropy. So let's say the Atomic halflife of the carbon atom is one hour. So what happens in the next hour? Only half of what remains decays. This algorithm of atomic halflife continues indefinitely, the matter never fully decays completely, This is how we get subatomic particles. They are whats left over with a fractional charge of the original mass. Subatomic leftovers.

The strange part about entropy is. We don't know why or how it works. The standard model of physics says. Chaos and disorder is the very nature of entropy. That Entropy is random. But yet. without fail. At every half-life, only half the mass decays. So, While Decay is not Random, We still base our medications and adjust our GPS satellites By the standard model of physics which predicts decay as random. We know that Decay Can't be random, Yet we base our very foundation of physics on the mathematics that it is.

At any moment any scientist from around the world could challenge the atomic half-life theory. The very theory Physics is based upon, The odd thing about that is. no one ever has. Radioactive decay

Hey, brother how have you been? I made a realization a while back. That a lot of the science subjects that I professed to know so much about. That in the end, I was missing a lot of information. I sat out to study. And truly acquire the knowledge That I professed to possess. I became obsessed with understanding subatomic physics and I even brushed up on my calculus. to put it in a nutshell. I fell down a rabbit hole and in the end. I'm so happy I did I learned a lot brother you wouldn't believe it

thats indeed quite weird, modern science is sadly full of holes this one being one of them

There are so many. If one really considers how often understanding is expanded and even changed completely by new realizations. What we know today, won't be very relevant in say 100 years. I have a theory that knowledge changes so often so rapidly, That even if somehow, In some paranormal way. someone did know everything there was to know at any given point in time. it would only be for a brief moment. because understanding is constantly changing, How many centuries will it be before everything we know today changes? either by being redefined by a new discovery or just replaced with a different understanding entirely? It's almost philosophical. Knowledge and understanding change so rapidly. But ultimately, because of its nature to change. and our own nature of imperfect interpretation, Is knowledge not a fleeting thing? I mean ultimately?

I see knowledge as a type of food, its meant to be 'eaten' and 'digested', not carried around and used outside oneself...
