Countries visited in a lifetime
The math here is basic. You take your countries per year, multiply by the years you have left, and add whatever you've already visited: total = visited + rate * years_left. For context, the Travelers' Century Club (TCC) tracks 330 destinations and lets you in once you hit 100, while Most Traveled People (MTP) breaks the world into more than 1,500 regions. Most international tourists land somewhere around 20-30 countries across a whole lifetime. The standout case is Cassie De Pecol, who covered all 196 countries in roughly 18 months back in 2017.
Applications
Use it to put together a travel bucket list, to figure out whether a gap year or sabbatical is enough, or to pace a goal that stretches over several years, like seeing every continent. It also helps when you're curating an Instagram travel feed or checking your progress against the TCC list and the UN member states.
FAQ
What counts as a country? Most lists go with the 193 UN member states and the 2 observers. TCC and MTP go further, splitting things into territories and smaller regions.
Does a layover count? Stricter travelers say you have to leave the airport for it to count. More relaxed counters take any passport stamp.
Is visiting every country realistic? If you travel full-time, yes. The catch is the conflict zones (Yemen, North Korea, Libya), which need special permits and careful timing.

Number of Half-Lives
Compute how many half-lives have elapsed, n = t/T½, and the fraction of radioactive material remaining, (1/2)ⁿ, from the elapsed time and the half-life. With each half-life the amount halves: after 1 half-life 50% remains, after 2 it is 25%, after 10 less than 0.1%. It is the intuitive way to assess how much of a source (or contamination) is left. Enter the elapsed time and the half-life.

Particle Reynolds Number
Calculate the particle Reynolds number in settling, Re_p = (ρ_w·v_s·d) ÷ μ, from the fluid density ρ_w (kg/m³), the settling velocity v_s (m/s), the particle diameter d (m) and the dynamic viscosity μ (Pa·s). The particle Reynolds number characterizes the flow regime around a particle settling (or being transported) in a fluid, comparing inertial and viscous forces. Its value sets WHICH settling-velocity formula is valid: for Re_p < ~1, the flow around the particle is LAMINAR and Stokes' Law holds (drag proportional to velocity); for Re_p > ~1000, the flow is TURBULENT and Newton's law holds (drag proportional to velocity squared); in the intermediate range, transition correlations are used (such as Allen's or drag-coefficient expressions vs Re_p). So when computing a settling velocity by Stokes' Law, it is ESSENTIAL to verify afterwards that Re_p < 1 — if not, the Stokes result is wrong and the correct regime's formula must be used. The particle Reynolds number is thus the 'checker' that validates the settling calculation, and it is central in designing settling tanks, classifying particles and hydraulic solids transport. Enter the fluid density, the settling velocity, the particle diameter and the viscosity.
