Drew mentions this and points out that it’s a new OS design and will therefore take a long time. He argues that an OS based on the linux design would be much easier.

Charge conservation would unambiguously be violated, which is why this decay is not expected. The half-life you quote is an experimental lower-bound.

Charge conservation would indeed be violated, which is why this decay is not expected. Dave is mistaken: the half-life they’re referring to is an experimental lower-bound, not a actual expected value.

They are not expected to decay. The half-life they’re thinking of is a lower-bound based on current measurements, not an actual expected half-life.
