Wal Thornhill: Inconstant Radioactive Decay Startles Physicists | Space News



For many years a scientific controversy has been brewing far from the spotlight of mainstream media. How constant are physical constants? For decades the scientific consensus has been that “true constants”, such as the speed of light and the gravitational force, remain unchanged over time. But in recent years more and more evidence has challenged this assumption. A telling example is now posed by observed changes in supposedly constant radioactive decay rates in relation to solar flares.

1. Half-life of32Si – David E. Alburger, G. Harbottle, E. F. Norton

2. Half-Life Measurements of Europium Radionuclides and the Long-term Stability of Detectors – Helmut Siegert, Heinrich Schrader, Ulrich Schotzig

3. Radioactive Decay Caused by Neutrinos? – Eckhard Dieter Falkenberg

4. Perturbation of Nuclear Decay Rates During the Solar Flare of 13 December 2006 – Jere H. Jenkins, Ephraim Fischbach (this paper was rejected — no mechanism)

5. Evidence for Correlations Between Nuclear Decay Rates and Earth-Sun Distance – Jere H. Jenkins et al.

6. Final Report: Accelerated beta decay for disposal of fission fragment wastes – Howard R. Reiss
