Mark-- A simple definition of a metastable nuclear isomer and how they can be created is warranted to further the understanding of your comments. As I understand, an isomer is merely a nuclear energy state above the ground state for any given nucleus. Such energy states I think can be spin

Does it make sense? Somewhat, however, my point is that the nuclear isomer seems to be a possible explanation as to why we don't see gammas and neutrons (and dead grad students). some of the mechanisms on the Wikipedia page explain how the energy is channeled to other 'things' instead of the
