Strictly approaching this question from a layman's POV: Is it conceivable to speculate that an unknown component, one that is possibly bound to the effects of "time dilation" play an integral role in determining the rate of decay in radioactive nucleus, specifically when an atom decides to "decay"?
An empirical observation, one that my brain has never been able to adequately grasp, is how seemingly deterministic the rate of nuclear decay appears to be, particularly when one takes into account very large samples of unstable atoms. That "half lives" can be determined with such incredible accuracy boggles my mind. Or am I simply repeating speculation (albeit less eloquently) that has already been brought up in recent threads concerning "Hydrinos", "Lorentz contraction", and "event horizon" stuff.
