Jere Jenkins part of team that finds radioactive decay rates vary with the sun's rotations
Jere Jenkins, Director of Radiation Laboratories and Ph.D. student in the Purdue School of Nuclear Engineering along with Ephraim Fischbach, a professor of physics at Purdue and Peter Sturrock, a professor emeritus of applied physics at Stanford University have found that radioactive decay rates vary. If this discovery is true, this will change one of the basic premises of science. These decay rates were accepted to be constant and unique and are used to date anthropological findings as well as other uses. More research needs to be conducted to further check these findings.
