Nice linear plot.
Tritium has an official half-life of 12.32 years:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium

There may also be other factors in play, like the [aging of the ?] fluorescent layer used in those tritium tubes.
It does not matter for an FFT to find seasonal differences though.

Once you learn more about current physics, followed a lecture last week on Higgs boson, Higgs field,
it seems like most matter with mass (especially top-quark) has a positive charge (one exception, but small).
This makes me wonder if negative charge forms a barrier for the Higgs field,
say electrons are very light, so a barrier against mass, as Higgs field causes mass.

IF that was so then we could reduce mass (of say a spacecraft) by enveloping it in electrons (or negative charge),
but I am way out of my field here.
Something for a MV negative charge generator and acceleration experiment.
Probably a bogus idea, do not know enough about that stuff ATM.
