The very low energy (7.6 ยฑ 0.5 eV) of the long-lived isomer state in 229 Th has inspired the idea that the transition between this isomer and the ground state might be used to measure the temporal variation of some fundamental physical constants with great enhanced sensitivity in laboratory.

โฆ Synopsis
The levels that compose biological hierarchies each have their own energetic, spatial and temporal structure. Indeed, it is the discontinuity in energy relationships between levels, as well as the similarity of sub-systems that support them, that permits levels to be defined. In this paper, the temporal structure of living hierarchies, in particular that pertaining to Human society, is examined. Consideration is given to the period defining the lifespan of entities at each level and to a periodic event considered fundamental to the maintenance of that level. The ratio between the duration of these two periods is found to be approximately 2.5 x 10 4. A similar relationship is found when lower, non-living levels of molecules and atoms are considered. This suggests that there is a constant factor of amplification between analogous periodic events at successive levels of the Human hierarchy.
