Actually, you are not disagreeing. ;) You are talking about something else. I was talking about outcomes based on probabilities, while you are talking about what influences the probabilities. The two are not in conflict. In short, I was talking about what comes out, while you are talking about how it goes in. > >-mark > >-----Original Message----- >From: mix...@bigpond.com [mailto:mix...@bigpond.com] >Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 2:55 PM >To: vortex-l@eskimo.com >Subject: Re: [Vo]:Nuclear isomer > >In reply to Jones Beene's message of Wed, 14 May 2014 09:04:35 -0700: >Hi, >[snip] >>Since nature prefers the simplest way - which is via radiation, any >>mention of exclusivity presents an almost insurmountable problem, >>especially if there is no model in standard nuclear physics. > >Actually nature has no preference.
