Radium Burn is Aging

Any good textbook on the subject of radioactivity will tell you that there is no tiniest spot on this planet where radium and her sister metals, and their deadly emanations cannot be found. It is in the water, the air, and the soil, and it gets into plants and into animals through their air and their water supply.

The harmful radioactive material, which comes from the sun, is taken into the body by means of food, water, air which people consume daily. It accumulates in the tissues and its deadly radiation causes radium poisoning, or radium burn. And here is the inescapable deduction. Radium burn, radium poisoning, are precisely the same as age in appearance. If a man takes radium through the mouth to the amount of just one pinhead; one tiny fraction of a gram, that man will die within the year of what doctors call radium poisoning. But he will look like a man seventy years old when he dies, no matter what his age.

"A carbon fire is a clean fire and contains no dense metals like radium, titanium, uranium, and polonium whose emanations in disintegrance in suns; cause old age and death because minute particles given off accumulate and convey the ever-fire into the body, there to kill it in time."

The half life rule is true for all the known kinds of radioactivity. But the more you think about it, the more mysterious it is. People don't die following the half life rule. When we are born (at least in the US), we are expected to live about 80 years. If we make it to age 80, we don't expect to live another 80 years -- yet that is the way it would work if our physical aging followed the half life rule.

Please appreciate how strange the half-life behavior is! It is as if the atom does not age. The old carbon-14 is identical to the young one. No matter how old it is, it's expected half-life is still 5730 years.

We don't really understand this phenomenon, but physicists sometimes "explain" it by saying that radioactive decay is determined by the laws of quantum mechanics, which are probabilistic laws.

For K-40, we say that the probability of decaying in 1.25 billion years is 50%. This probability doesn't change, so no matter how old the atoms is, its probability of decay remains 50% for the next 1.25 billion years. Of course, we haven't really explained anything, because we don't know why the laws of physics should be probability laws.
