Radioactive Decay Revisited

Now back to radioactive decay, a phenomena which appears to dance to the beat of a different drummer.

None of any possible "interpretations" explain anything, especially that half-life relationship which I noted above. Just throwing around a buzz phrase like "quantum fluctuations" explains nothing. You cannot explain radioactive decay and the half-life; nobody can explain radioactive decay and the half-life; no standard "interpretation" in the physical sciences can explain radioactive decay and the half-life. Those damn 'why' it happens ‘when’ it happens and ‘how’ it happens are all questions are in the too hard basket.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

If there are no standard physical explanations, well on the other hand, software could maintain the illusion of radioactive decay's relationship to the half-life without resorting to any need for either non-randomness or causality of any kind. So there's your choice of "interpretation" – the simulation hypothesis (are we ‘living’ as a computer simulation?) or Panpsychism, or even Panpsychism as a product of a simulation.

In fact the half-life relationship although it has nothing to do with terrestrial life surviving, even thriving, could be considered an example of fine-tuning so wildly improbable is it. In fact it is so wildly improbable that I’d be bold enough to postulate that the origin of the half-life relationship is among the best evidence that we ‘exist’ in a Simulated (Virtual Reality) Universe.
