  • This is done using the following equation:

    t(1/2) = t / log2 ( No / Nt )

    Where t(1/2) is the half life, t is the time elapsed between measurements, No is the original amount of the radioactive substance and Nt is the amount remaining after the elapsed time.

    As you can see, one does not have to wait anywhere near a full half-life in order to measure it.

    Now please provide your references for oxygen effecting uranium's nuclear decay and for T. rex requiring high oxygen levels.
