Abstract
Physics is revealed hidden behind modification of nuclear lifetime by γ-ray boomerang effect. It is deeply involved in the proper quantum mechanical processes described by probability amplitude.
Keywords: Nuclear lifetime, Gamma absorption and emission, Nuclear energy level and width, Sb, Cs energy level width, M¨ossbauer measurement
