Original Note:
50/50 chances for 1 atom to decay in 1.3x10^21 years makes it impossible to hope to observe. But if you take 1.3x10^21 atoms, probability becomes 50/50 chances it’ll occur in one year for 1 atom. The entire 1 ton won’t decay. Aim is to increase probabilities dramatically. https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2012/05/16/majorana-demonstrator/
