That moment when someone thinks they've made a groundbreaking discovery about radioactive decay. Half-life doesn't work that way, buddy. Doubling the half-life doesn't give you the "full life" - it just tells you how long it takes for another half of the remaining material to decay. The substance technically never reaches zero, just increasingly smaller fractions. First-year chemistry students discovering asymptotes for the first time and thinking they've solved nuclear physics.
