If I take a source of cs137 and a geiger counter, I can measure its radioactive decay.
If I know the value of , , , and background radiation, I could solve for , then calculate .
How accurate could I get this, in terms of seconds? (drift would be zero)
How come nobody makes radioactive decay clocks?
>inb4 radioactive clocks already exist
Yes, but they don't rely on radioactive decay.
