    Ending Amount = Beginning Amount / 2^n

    where "n" is the number of half-lives (time / half-life)

    Ending Amount = 1.0 / 2^n

    2^n = 1.0 /.95

    2^ (time / half-life) = 1.0526315789

    elapsed time = half-life * (log (bgng amt / end amt) / log (2)

    elapsed time = 1,760 * log (1.0526315789) / 0.30102999566

    elapsed time = 1,760 * 0.022276394692 / 0.30102999566

    elapsed time = 130.2410232308 years
