The "Spin" in all particles, mvr = h/2(pi) says that circling velocity v is very close to lightspeed c so that the relativistic gamma 1/[1- (v^2/c^2)]^1/2 is pushing toward infinity at around 10^18 or more, yet by it's clock time is standing still. IOW with a gamma of 10^18 when the particle's clock measures one second, our clock will tick off 10^18 seconds or about 32 Billion Years.
Surely, electromagnetic fields can exert a change in the aether-vacuum enough to slightly alter the spin/gamma of a nucleon (or it's sub-particles) and affect the half-life of a radioisotope. Fred Bill Beaty's note on William A. Barker's patent (US 5,076,971) for using a Van de Graaff to lower radioactivity: http://amasci.com/freenrg/barker.txt "This paper describes a method for treating a small radioactive mineral sample so as to make it lose its radioactivity. Mainstream science would predict that such a thing is not possible, since it involves changing the half life of radioactive atoms, and the half-life is thought to be inalterable." This paper is for your information only. The process described involves dangerous high voltages and radioactive substances. It should only be performed by persons skilled in safe handling of both of these. - Bill B. ...........................................................................................
