Weather

(Atmospheric) The lifetime of a greenhouse gas refers to the approximate amount of time it would take for the anthropogenic increment to an atmospheric pollutant concentration to return to its natural level (assuming emissions cease) as a result of either being converted to another chemical compound or being taken out of the atmosphere via a sink. This time depends on the pollutant's sources and sinks as well as its reactivity. The lifetime of a pollutant is often considered in conjunction with the mixing of pollutants in the atmosphere; a long lifetime will allow the pollutant to mix throughout the atmosphere. Average lifetimes can vary from about a week (sulfate aerosols) to more than a century (CFCs, carbon dioxide) . See residence time, greenhouse gas. (references)

Lifetime (physics)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Lifetime in physics is the mean time of existence of any member of an assembly of identical physical objects, each instance of which lives for a duration that follows a given distribution of which the mean is the lifetime (sometimes calls for this reason the mean lifetime).

Typically one speaks of lifetime for unstable particles, for which the time elapsed before the disintegration follows the exponential distribution (resulting from the fact that a particle has no memory of its past in regard of its lifetime):

with the associated decay constant (cf. exponential decay). Stated another way, P(t) is the probability that the particle has not yet disintegrated at time t. Therefore, in an assembly of particles, there remains at time t.

Computing the average links the lifetime to the decay constant constant :

The probability for one given atom to disintegrate in any infinitesimal interval of time is .

Another quantity of common use is the half life time , which is the time required for half of the population to disintegrate. It is linked to the lifetime through

John Locke

1690

Whence it is plain, that shaking off a power, which force, and not right, hath set over any one, though it hath the name of rebellion, yet is no offence before God, but is that which he allows and countenances, though even promises and covenants, when obtained by force, have intervened: for it is very probable, to any one that reads the story of Ahaz and Hezekiah attentively, that the Assyrians subdued Ahaz, and deposed him, and made Hezekiah king in his father's lifetime; and that Hezekiah by agreement had done him homage, and paid him tribute all this time. (Second Treatise of Government)

Winston S. Churchill

1946

I can therefore allow my mind, with the experience of a lifetime, to play over the problems which beset us on the morrow of our absolute victory in arms, and to try to make sure with what strength I have that what has been gained with so much sacrifice and suffering shall be preserved for the future glory and safety of mankind.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

THEOSOPHY, n. An ancient faith having all the certitude of religion and all the mystery of science. The modern Theosophist holds, with the Buddhists, that we live an incalculable number of times on this earth, in as many several bodies, because one life is not long enough for our complete spiritual development; that is, a single lifetime does not suffice for us to become as wise and good as we choose to wish to become. To be absolutely wise and good -- that is perfection; and the Theosophist is so keen-sighted as to have observed that everything desirous of improvement eventually attains perfection. Less competent observers are disposed to except cats, which seem neither wiser nor better than they were last year. The greatest and fattest of recent Theosophists was the late Madame Blavatsky, who had no cat.
