Yes, the curve is exponential, and it's not hard to play tricks with the math. One could calculate 1/4 lives, 1/3 lives, or 1/277 lives for decaying elements. All will result in different exponential curves. Sadly for you this is a totally false statement. Very simply, the "1/4 life" would be the time it takes for a sample to decay to the point where only 1/4 of the original amount is left. No it's not. From a dictionary1. Physics The time required for half the nuclei in a sample of a specific isotopic species to undergo radioactive decay. Therefore, a quarter life is the time it takes for 1/4 of the material to decay away. Thank you for correcting your fellow evolutionist. I suppose it's only fair to allow him time to spot & correct some of the mistakes in your post.
