Can anything change the rate of radioactive decay?

Question

I learned in earth science that nothing, nothing absolutely nothing can change the rate of radioactive decay. I was just wondering if my teacher was right or not. Is there by some chance something that could change the rate of radioactive decay?

Answer 1

Yes, actually the mind can change the rate of radioactive decay and other things such as random number generators or throwing of a dice.  Science has proved this unlike telekinesis.  Thank you, Delv!~

Answer 2

nope there is nothing we can do to change the rate unless some crazy new scifi type technology is invented

Answer 3

Nothing we currently know of can change it.  Of course, we may discover something new.

Answer 4

A nuclear reactor or a nuclear bomb changes the rate of nuclear decay by causing chain reactions due to critical mass.

Extreamly high temperatures and pressures can also do the trick.
