Half-life

Real World Example

Imagine you have a large bowl of popcorn at a party, and as the night goes on, guests keep eating the popcorn until there's only half left. This scenario is similar to the scientific concept of half-life, where over a consistent period, half of the atoms of a radioactive isotope decay. Just like how the popcorn level decreases steadily as guests eat, the quantity of radioactive atoms decreases predictably over time, both reaching a point where only half remains from the original amount.
