Should this be an inverse relationship?

...up to 58% of the helium had not diffused out of the zircons; the percentages decreased with depth and temperature.

That describes a direct relationship between non-diffusion and depth and temperature. Should that not be an inverse relationship with temperature? The hotter it is the less helium is retained.

I suppose that increased depth and pressure would inhibit diffusion. Oelphick 03:34, 1 September 2006 (CDT)

Is expansion of space sufficient to eliminate heat from decay

You suggest that the expansion of space will eliminate excess heat from accelerated decay.

However, the expansion of space does not affect the local surroundings of a particular body, such as the earth. I do not see how expanding space would eliminate extra heat caused by accelerated decay on the earth itself. There needs to have been some other mechanism for that.
