if atom desintegration is a purely random process, what are the chances all the atoms in my body desintegrate at once causing my sudden death?
>>16475963Nearly all the atoms in your body are stable. This means we can only use a lower bound on their decay. Most of your body is water, which is used in the SuperKamiokande experiment. They give the lower bound on half life of a proton to be 10^34 years. This means that the chance for a single atom in your body to decay in your lifetime is less than 2^(-10^(-34)). This is already astronomically small. Assuming you weigh roughly 100kg and you’re made of water, you about 10^4 moles of atoms in you, or 10^27 atoms. This means that the chance of them all decaying at once is at most (2^(-10^34))^(10^27) = 2^(-10^51). This is roughly 10^(-10^50). So the chance of you decaying all it once is less than a number with 10^50 zeros after the decimal point. Basically nothing.
>>16475963>what are the chances all the atoms in my body desintegrate at once causing my sudden death?It either happens or it doesn't so approximately 50%
>>16475963Why half life of Uranium is different if it's close together then?
>>16475963Random is just coded language for unknown variables or unmeasurable quantities to do issues with observation.Kinda like "random mutation" in evolutionary Biology.Its just cope for not knowing
>>16475963>causing my sudden death?100%. People die of sudden death every day.
