'''Half-life''' is the time it takes for half of the original sample of a [[radioactive]] [[isotope]] to decay.<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Physical Science''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1999, 2000</ref> Different isotopes have different half-lives, some being very short and difficult for scientists to study.<ref>Avison J.

Knowing these decay rates is important for dating, such as with [[carbon|carbon-14]].
