You forgot the sentence just before the last one. The weird thing is that they call the 5×10^(-22) seconds "stable for a period of time", but the 10 minutes "very unstable".
>four neutrons together can form a resonance, a structure stable for a period of time before decaying.
- ianai 10y agoYou're adding context to "a period of time" that's not there. 1 ns, 1ms, 1 day, and 1 millennia are all "periods of time." As for stable vs unstable you have to contrast lifetimes across other particles.
