If everything in the universe is radioactive then the decay equation is given by

\frac{N}{N_0}=e^{-\beta t}

where N is the number of atoms remaining at time=t and N_0 is the number of atoms at time=0 and \beta is a constant depending on the substance.

this exponential decay can be transformed to give an equation for time as

t=\frac{1}{\beta}(ln N_0 - ln N)

if the \beta can be applied also to living organisms then all our betas should give all of us an average life span of about 100 years give or take a few years.

For human beings, N_0 would be the initial number of brain cells (neurons) at birth.
