>>It takes 1 trillion times the age of the universe for a xenon-124 sample to shrink by half<<

They used a Texas DMV as a measuring control.

“...18 sextillion years (18 followed by 21 zeros) for a sample of xenon-124 to shrink by half...”

And Hillary Clinton will STILL not be in jail.

How do you get a gig setting around waiting 16 septillion years to watch a neutrino get recaptured?

Doesnt it mean that radioactive decay is not random but depends on physical processes? If you can somehow force two electrons into the nucleus of Xenon could you speed up decay rates?

If only these ‘scientists’ would state all of their assumptions then the rest of us might be able to point out where they are going off the rails.

For instance, they want long ages and uniform decay rates to be the correct answer. They claim a volcanic eruption or lightning can ‘reset’ these radio isotope clocks. So more than likely these types of extreme events are speeding up their ‘uniform’ clocks by millions, billions or even trillions of apparent years.

So, in so many words, it doesn’t decay....

Maybe they can make teeth from it - no decay and a glow in the dark smile...
