minus-squareDeme@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 days agoYes, and 138 days is far from the shortest. Take Radon-220 for example. It can be found in nature in trace amounts, while having a half life of only 55.6 seconds, while Radon-222 has the longest half-life of all Radon isotopes at 3.8 days.
