    You need not be conscious or even alive when you take your last breath though.

    But back on topic (kinda) we may not get the chance to breath our last. We could all be vaporised.

    That is something nurses say to keep families happy. I don’t think that is possible unless you are knocked out by drugs. At some point in the dying process you will need to take your last breath; that action will wake you up because the reflex action by your body will be so intense and painful.
    So, you've died have you?

    I'll start calling you Lazarus!

    Different to my experience then.

    Yep, my mistake

    Iodine-135 is an isotope that arises as a fission product of Uranium-235; the decay chain from there is Xenon-135, Caesium-135, and finally Barium-135 which is stable.

    Is this a sideline you've got? Don't you teach or something?

    Will it do Alpha, Beta and Gamma?
