i am wondering if anyone knows if you are always preserved in a moselium?

Many cemeteries are using Mausoleums now-------saves space as you can build on top of each other.  It is no more well preserved than a ground burial in a coffin and vault.

Because even though it is a radioactive element it's half-life will be over 1/2 million years making it a stable element.  It has what is termed in physics as an 'island of stability' which describes the possibility of elements which have stable 'magic numbers' of protons and neutrons.

Here is an interesting fact.  The interior of our bones are lined with copper atoms.\nResearch it, its true.

For the Molybdenum 93 Isotope (synthetic radioisotope) 4,000 years.\nFor the Molybdenum 99 Isotope (synthetic radioisotope) it is 65.94hours.\nFor the Molybdenum 100 Isotope it is 7.8x10^18 years.\nAll other Isotopes of Molybdenum (92,94,95,96,97) are stable Isotopes.

Since all the numbers are filled in on the chart, and the transuranium elements are all man-made and fairly unstable, I think we're probably out of surprises as far as elements are concerned.  I say "probably" to cover my açç, as any good scientist does.  Who really knows what sπτt's going down in the core of the galaxy, for instance. \n\nAs far as *compounds* go, there's still lots and lots of wild and wacky stuff to be found.  What time does the Mother Ship leave, anybody know?

So the answer to your specific question is 'no'.  The problem is that if the container shines, it means that light and energy is being lost and will eventually run out.  There are materials that will glow for a long time due to radioactive decay or via chemical processes, but all of these are using up their 'fuel' in the process and will eventually run out.\nSome radioactive substances have a pretty long half-life and will appear to glow steadily without much decay over the scale of a human lifetime.\nNow, to get more generalized... it is possible to trap light in a container that doesn't shine. Scientists have been able to free light in its place using supercooled clouds of sodium which are naturally opaque, but can temporarily transmit light when altered via a laser beam.  If the laser is shut off, a light beam that is passing through the cloud will be temporarily frozen in place.  Australian scientists have recently been able to extend this interaction to be nearly as long as a second.\nOnce the laser is reintroduced the beam is recovered and continues on its way.  Now all this is a little debatable, since the photons actually get temporarily swallowed up by the material.  The photons that come out afterwards have the same configuration and quantum state as what went in, but whether they are exactly the same photons is more of a question for philosophy than for physics.

Let us not forget irradiation. exposure to cesium kills all microbes in the food after it is hermetically sealed it will last indefinately at room temperature. I am not pro or con on this, just thought I would mention it.

Atoms are most stable at certain energy levels.  If an atom goes above a particular level, it will release energy to go back.  Most of the time, this occurs as electromagnetic radiation, where an electron drops to a lower shell and releases heat (infrared light), light, or more energetic radiation (like x-rays).\n\nIn the case of radioactive decay or nuclear fission, the released radiation is in the form of nuclear particles: alpha particles are helium nuclei (no electrons) and have low energy, and beta particles are electrons, which are higher energy.  Gamma rays are electromeagnetic, not particulate, so they are just photons, and have very high energy.

Yes, your body is of this Earth.  After you die, you will never need it again.  But you will be born into a brand new spirit body and that journey lasts forever.

Yes, they can deteriorate with time especially if not kept in a fridge in a sterile container.\nPhosphate buffers are amongst the worst because they get contaminated easily and grow stuff which will most likely spoil the experiment.\n\nThe best way to overcome this is to always make fresh buffer with each experiment :)

Sulfur is not radioactive. It is a nonmetal that takes 2 electrons to form a S-- ion. It does exist on its own in nature . It is found in the body in aminoacids.

Ignore the abusive idiot above. He has no idea what he is talking about.\n\n\nThere are lots of different radioactive elements. Some are dangerous but the vast majority are harmless. \n\nYour body and everybody else's is already full of radiocative elements. You are loaded with isotopes like 13Carbon., tritium, 44Calcium and so on. Every living thing that has ever existed on Earth has been losded with those radicoative elements. We've evolved with them from the beginning and as a result they are quite harmles to us in normal doses.\n\nA few unnatural radioactive isotopes are harmful in small doses, and some natural isotopes are dangerous if they are concentrated in the body. But the general answer is that radiocative elements are quite harmless.

no jeremy you must be thinking of other radioactive elements. plutonium is safe enough to handle without any safety apparatus, though the thought of doing that sounds stupid.\n\nPu238 and 239 are alpha emitters , ie their radiation does not penetrate skin. a solid ball of plutonium poses no risk unless a brick is dropped onto it, in which case there is a surge of radiation emitted, and a very high risk of acute radiation poisoning. of course such a careless act will cause trouble with any kind of radioactive metal, not just Pu.\n\notherwise it would require you to inhale powdered plutonium to even give you an elevated risk of injury. thats right, since alpha particles cant penetrate your skin, you have to put plutonium in your gut to have it do damage to you.

No, it's evidence of combustion.  Radioactive decay is usually invisible unless you have film there to see the particles given off.
