"Why would radiometric decay, and only radiometric decay vary with "dynamic time" locally?"

That's not what I said.

"You seem to be positing that the energy output can vary independently of the decay rate - that the decay rate can be speeded up or slowed down while the observable energy output remains constant. Hypothetically, you could have free energy - producing energy without any decay at all."

What keeps electrons in orbit around the nucleus? Why don't they radiate energy and spiral down into the nucleus? QM says they don't, period.

“QM says they don’t, period.”

Has quantum mechanics always said that, or has QM changed over time, like decay rates?
