In subatomic physics, it's been assumed by conventional wisdom the proton has a half life more than the time since the Big Bang (or the start of the Expansion of the mass and energy around us, which is not the same thing as the Big Bang which I believe would violate energy conservation, necessarily. ( How Double Vortex Dynamo Cosmology Might Be The Cause of Cosmic Acceleration and Many Other Cosmic Motifs)) This is believed to be proven about the proton not by waiting billions of years. What phd is this old! What's considered the standard way of the physics here is to take lots of protons and wait a while, years or months, and see if any of them are observed to change. The idea is that if just a proton alone for 1000 years was with the same elapsed time of say 1000 protons and a year, then we would know no protons have a lifetime more than this. We would believe the proton has a half life of at least 500 years. So it's assumed no proton would have decayed in this much time. The problem here is about the assumption of the same linear time in months is not the same as the ages added. If three 18 year olds go in a diner and the chef says, "No one under 21 allowed." Would the teens be able to say, "We have 18 times 3, or 54 years of life, so we should be allowed in!" No, in 39 years much more may be learned than in 13. Three 13 year olds are not the same as one 39 year old's life. This is often found in assaying like with business and if you took a 20 year old van and wanted to find out what would happen in 26 more months of wear, one method they use is like to use repetitions of the machine to simulate the hours of use. The same idea may be of use for the protons or aging wine, by finding ways to speed up the flow of time, this may be possible by way of Einstein's physics. You would take just one proton and age it via wine or changes of the all important electric field (speed of light) of relativity. If time slows at high speed motion through the electric field where the field is hot and expanded, perhaps it would speed up where the field is of low heat and contracted or other changes in the field. The half lives of subatomic particles are more and more reduced in general with higher mass, the opposite of what Einstein's theory would have about more mass slowing time.
I imagine sending pulses of matter waves through the heavy particles would be a way to stimulate the rate of radioactivity. First we might try with other particles than the proton in order to achieve a reliable result, then if this is a way to "age" the radiation, we might try with the proton itself. It's already established that the electroweak theory shows if the weak force is not there, the electric field behaves like a weaker weak force, and causes radioactivity at the same rate the weak force does, yet slower to the degree of difference of the strength of the fields, so changes in the electric field perhaps of frequency with time might act like a stronger weak force. This is somewhat like UL listed labs speeds up the aging of say the Volvo door by shaking it or opening and closing the door many times to speed up to simulate the aging of time. If reliable methods of aging other heavy particles might be reliably achieved we might then more reliably hope to know the stability of the proton.
It may seem this is not the same because while in our life all sorts of complex events cause the usual wear and tear of aging, all the protons of the 1000 would be simple with no outside forces acting, so it's viable to say the individual ages side by side can be considered as if one giant age of all the protons in a line of one proton. The internal dynamics of a proton are complex. If you take a bunch of mesons and let them decay, there's no way to know the exact time when any of them will, just that about half will have decayed in the half life, like weather reports we have no way to know what's going on at the sub subatomic level, it's too complex to say by our usual ways of umbrellas (if my umbrella has a central heat in March, so be it!) While this part of the problem is solved by just waiting enough so all the vibrations would level out that would cause them to decay at many times not one, this "May" be more like weather. While the experiments that see the radioactivity of other half lives in the lab say the half lives are simple in general as if they are with just the internal "weather" and no more, with no more extension of the half life for any reason, this may not be the same for half lives of 10 or 15 billion years. Over these huge time spans the matter waves that are in the space around the protons could cause change in the field of the particles by the energy flow a bit at a time and this small change over huge time spans would change the half life. So because of this small but measurable effect, the proton might decay, it wouldn't be absolute. The proton like all particles is made of two general action reaction forces in balance, all other mass is made of balance and all other masses are changable, so the proton too if of the same mass energy it would seem, would also be somewhat radiant. If we took the absolute stability of the proton as granted, it would be absolute energy, and this seems to be unlike the rest of physics. This is based on the weak effect of the Disproof of the Bell Inequality, so, like weather in just a few months not being viable to see how the solar cycles influence the sales of the Dow Jones, this change in half lives would be only seen in radioactivity with half lives of more age like Uranium and it would be of important to measure such as the age of the solar system and other ages by radiocarbon dating methods. And the instability of the proton would be of import for atomic power. My belief is that because of conservation of energy with the atomic spin motor, if angular momentum was being absorbed from the spin of protons held in a wire by way of the proton's magnetic field, as via my idea of the atomic motor since all mass is just spinning energy in my theory, the energy is changed, so the proton's half life would be radiant.

. Wouldn't it be way cool if they had spinning sails powered by the wire with a motor, you can sail in air with the wind stationary! At night it lights up like a wheel at the circus! Thanks to this weather it's simple; it's stopped raining, it's stopped snowing, and the weather is up....! Same old stuff aobut global warming, more of the unusual...
