'''Half life''' is the time required for some amount of [[Commodity|commodities]] to decrease in half. The larger the number of [[Commodity|commodities]] is, the faster will each individual [[Commodity|commodity]] decay.

==Example==
[[Commodity|Promethium]], a valuable [[Commodity|commodity]] used in most productions, has a half life of 25 minutes. That is if you only have one unit of [[Commodity|Promethium]] on you, it will be lost after 25 minutes. Now consider you having 100 units of [[Commodity|Promethium]]. The '''Half Life''' is still 25 minutes, but now 50 units of [[Commodity|Promethium]] will have to decay to get to half of the original amount, so the time it takes for the first unit of [[Commodity|Promethium]] to decay would be only 25/50 minutes, or 30 seconds. Of course once the total number of [[Commodity|commodities]] is reduced by 1, the number that will have to decrease in half changes, and the next unit of [[Commodity|Promethium]] will take slightly more time to decay. In this case it would be 25/49.5 minutes, or 30.30 seconds (though time is probably rounded).

==How to stop the Decay==
Is there no way to preserve the goods? Well, there is one... Storing the [[Commodity|commodity]] inside a docked ship seems to do the trick. You can store 100 [[Commodity|Promethium]] (or any other decaying [[Commodity|commodity]]) for days, even months, and the next time you open that ship, only 2 will decay.
