decay would be linear, rather than exponential, if the average decay
rate were to remain constant.
Actually, the prerequisite for exponential change is to have a constant
rate of growth or decay.
But how can the rate be kept constant
when the number of atoms (in the parent generation) becomes less and
less?
Does the bank rate of 10% p.a. change if it is your $84000 or my $44 ?
