Yes LinearAq, that is the jist of the issue. Since the formula partially resulted from OBSERVATION and TRACKING of radioactive decay, we know the decay curve is ACTUALLY CURVED and not a straight line.
So, if CTD is so gifted in math he SHOULD know that his method of showing 1/4-life and 1/2-life calculations required the radioactive decay to be a straight line function.
If we take CTD at his word that he DOES understand the mathematics involved, we have no choice but to conclude that he is trying to DECEIVE people that don't understand the math.
Conclusion, CTD is trying to deceive Jeanie and Bex among others.
If you want to see if CTD is wrong and you don't trust RAZD or me, take CTD's post about 1/2-lives and 1/4-lives to any mathematician that you do trust. Your local high school math teacher should be able to walk you through it. Enjoy.
