The important word is “measured” there in the title, where they are not claiming the decay is varying, but that the measurement equipment is showing variation, and trying to quantify and model the dynamics of that.
- sumanthvepa 5y agoYes. The title should have been 'Instruments that measure radioactive decay are affected by humidity, more than was previously thought to be the case'. That is not surprising at all.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoI sort of thought it was surprising because it was more than was previously thought to be the case?
- sumanthvepa 5y agoWell, not as surprising as it would have been, if, as the title seemed to imply, that radioactive decay itself was affected by humidity.
