It really wasn't even a math problem...

Just from what I knew of physics I knew IMMEDIATELY that 2447 MeV was a ridiculous number... Yet you, who has made radioactivity a crusade, did not even have that common sense- and you continue to scoff at those that DO know the facts and numbers and do the math for you.

Listen to those that can do the numbers and you won't continue to humiliate yourself- in this area anyway...
