Nevertheless, it can be detected chemically, because it seems to impede every reaction in which it takes part. According to Dr. M. Languor, one of the discoverers of the element, a very small amount of Administratium made one reaction, that normally takes less than a second, take more than four days to go to completion. Administratium has a half-life of approximately three years. At the end of this time it does not actually decay. Instead, it undergoes an internal reorganization in which the associates to the neutron, deputy associates to the neutron, and assistant deputy associate neutrons, all exchange places.
Some studies indicate that the atomic mass actually increases after each reorganization.
