What does half life of a pill mean?
A "Half-Life" is not half of a life, it is half of the life, then half of that life, and then half of THAT life, and so on and so on. For example: Rock has a half life of 100 ---> 50 ---> 25 ---> 12.5 ---> 6.25 ---> and so on. You just keep dividing the life it has, by 2. Another Example: If you take a dissolving vitamin, and weigh it (20g), and put it in water for 1 minute, it should dissolve into ALMOST half of its original weight, into 10g. Scientists often use the method of "Half-Life" to measure the age of a rock or rock formation. Sources: Am a student in science class
