Abstract
As characterized experimentally by Rutherford, an essential feature of radioactive decompositions is their being constituted of randomly occ urring events in terms of which the decomposing systems exhibit expone ntial temporal decay behavior with associated characteristic half-live s. This feature is rigorously accounted for generally by the recent te mporally-quantized dynamical theory of strictly-irreversible evolution of isolated and localized non-relativistic quantum systems, which the ory also obviates the celebrated Zeno's paradox of conventional quantu m theory.
