		Specifying the half life or mean life of a process is a way of quantifying how fast it is occurring, when the whole process would in principle take forever to complete.
		Given our radioactive element, if half of its atoms have decayed after one half life, then we can expect there to be some kind of well defined average life expectancy: the mean life of the atoms, which is somewhat longer than their half life.
		with a half life), but instead decayed linearly, meaning its rate of decay was always equal to its initial rate (giving rise to a simple "first half in one minute and the second half in the next minute--and then, all gone" sort of idea).

	What Prohibition Has Done to America - One-Half of One Percent
		To fight hard and long merely to get a concession like this, which is in substance no concession--to get permission to drink beer that is not beer and wine that is not wine--is surely not an undertaking worth the expenditure of any great amount of civic energy.
		Nevertheless it is quite possible that the Supreme Court would decide that this deviation to the right of the zero mark is as much within the discretion of Congress as was the Volstead deviation to the left.
		In favor of the former course--the passing of a wine-and-beer law--it may at least be said that the offense, whether it be great or small, is committed once for all by a single action of Congress, which, if left undisturbed, would probably before long be generally accepted as taking the place of the Amendment itself.

		Another way to look at this is that if the radiation intensity is cut in half; the source will have only half as many curies as it originally had.
		It is important to recognize that the intensity or amount of radiation is decreasing due to age but not the penetrating energy of the radiation.
