On Science

What if the decay rate and thus the half life of radioactive elements varies? Imagine, if this is the case, it would mean that all archeological dating is in question. How old are artifacts? When in fact did the dinosaurs really die out? For decades and certainly since the dawn of the atomic age, there has been an unproven theory accepted by most physicists that the decay rate of elements is a constant. But is this really the case? Perhaps under certain conditions or for not any known reason at all, the decay rate of elements might vary. If the decay rate of elements varies, than much of our understanding in atomic physics and in the world would change. For example, if the decay rate/half life of elements varies, could we ever trust Carbon 14 or cesium dating to determine the age of artifacts or the age of certain fossils? Did dinosaurs really die off hundreds of millions of years ago, or was what Marco Polo wrote about giant "dragons" that he saw in China true or what about the fact that liquid blood was found in some dinosaurs veins? The theory of decay rate constants must be revisited and backed up by hard core scientific testing. ---Frank X. Didik pre 1980
