Abstract
Beta‐decay half‐lives for the free neutron, for ⁶He and ⁸He, and for ⁸Li are calculated ab initio from geometrical thermodynamics arguments, independently of any quantum mechanics. Half‐lives for the decay of ⁸Be to two alphas and for the disintegration of the tetraneutron are also calculated. The calculated values are close to those experimentally observed.
