decayTitan

decayTitan is a term used to describe a theoretical celestial body that has undergone extreme radioactive decay and subsequent collapse. The concept typically arises in discussions of the long-term evolution of planetary systems and the ultimate fate of matter in the universe. It is not a recognized astronomical object in current scientific classification, but rather a speculative endpoint for certain types of massive stars or even planets that possess a significant concentration of long-lived radioactive isotopes.

The theoretical process of decayTitan formation would involve a celestial body accumulating a critical mass of radioactive elements. As these elements decay over billions of years, they would release vast amounts of energy, potentially leading to internal heating and expansion. However, as the radioactive fuel is depleted and the rate of decay slows, gravitational forces would begin to dominate, causing the object to contract. This contraction could eventually lead to a collapse into a super-dense remnant, far denser than a white dwarf but not necessarily a black hole. The specific composition and properties of a decayTitan would depend heavily on the initial isotopic makeup of the parent body and the dynamics of its collapse. The concept is largely theoretical and serves as a thought experiment in astrophysics and cosmology concerning the eventual states of matter over immense timescales.
