From the breakdown of organic matter in the earth to the long-lasting decay of unstable atomic nuclei, we uncover the science behind how things fall apart. Whether it’s the human body or a radioactive element, decay tells a fascinating story of time, transformation, and the cycle of life and death.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kurzgesagt-podcast-science-revealed--6600013/support.
