The half-life of Germanium-76 is 1.926 × 10^21 years. This is the time it takes half a mass of Germanium-76 to decay. This doesn’t mean that any amount of mass won’t decay before. Also, when Germanium-76 decays it ceases to be Germanium-76 and becomes other elements. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(12-5-68) Author

A little tired of seeing community notes on every single post from Elon Musk, and using them instead of comments, he's basically commenting on news. NNN NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(50-2-12) Author

The proposed note is pedantic (and therefore not needed), and is also wrong. The decay value is not "the time it takes half a mass [...] to decay". It is a statistical value, the accuracy of which depends on the mass - ie, the deviation is asymptotic to zero with increasing mass. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(41-2-8) Author

50/50 chances for 1 atom to decay in 1.3x10^21 years makes it impossible to hope to observe. But if you take 1.3x10^21 atoms, probability becomes 50/50 chances it’ll occur in one year for 1 atom. The entire 1 ton won’t decay. Aim is to increase probabilities dramatically. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(8-3-28) Author

NNN: Community Notes should not be a police of free speech and censorship of personal opinions in order to maintain integrity and relevance. The post is not misleading or harmful to the readers. The post comment section should be utilized instead of CN. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(10-1-9) Author

NNN, it would be observable, even if the odds are unlikely. The claim is not false. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(2-1-1) Author
