RE: Bismuth breaks half-life record

[Joel Baumbaugh <baumbaug@NOSC.MIL>]

Well, as noted in an earlier post, all matter decays (and has a

finite life), so in many ways the answer is likely to be yes... 

This is a little off-subject, but I have never been totally comfortable

with Astronomers/Cosmologist's red-shift conclusions.  It may be

that the photon(s) detected from distant galaxies are themselves

decaying, after all they have lost a lot of energy in 13+

billion years (if they are indeed THAT old), and NOTHING lasts

forever.


Just my 2-cents...
