Answer 1: The 19th and first half of the 20th century conceived of the world as chaos. Chaos was the oft-quoted blind play of atoms which‚ in mechanistic and positivistic philosophy‚ appeared to represent ultimate reality‚ with life as an accidental product of physical processes‚ and mind as an epiphenomenon.… It was chaos when‚ in the current theory of evolution‚ the living world appeared a product of chance‚ the outcome of random mutations and survival in the mill of natural selection.

If each of the scatter test was 10 years‚ the element we are testing would have a half-life of 10 years. The amount of time for a half-life depends on the elements‚ and how tightly the atoms are packed together. Some other
