Betreff: RE: [Vo]:Seasonal variation of halflife: tritium test
William,
I think You touched an important point here.
I raised my doubts in other contexts earlier on.
Radioactive decay is assumed to be pure random.
So much that it even is used as THE source of pure randomness, ie,THE ideal
random-number generator.
I always doubtet that.
There are some hints, that our conceptions of randomness, which in the
mathematical domain eg are gaussian distributions and ergodicity, do NOT apply
to the REAL world.
Only to such artificial constructions as throwing dice.
Which are, if You think about it, are mental constructions, and as such
collapse to tautologies.
See eg the the REAL WORLD problem of 1/f noise, black swans not considered.
This is a bottomless pit, and disturbs the mathematical 'idealists', who
believe that 'reality' is constructed along simple platonian laws.
Which quite probably it is not.
There seems to be some similarity between random-number-distribution, 1/f noise
and several processes of radiactive decay.
Mandelbrodt touched that, but I do not think he ever got to the core of the
issue.
As a mathematician he probably could not.

PS
They say yearly variation, 33-day variation, and transients before/during solar
flares. Here's a nice review:
