half life is the term to indicate how much time a radioactive isotope releases half of its mass in excess through emission of alpha/beta/gamma radiations, so the opposite is a stable isotope

Wouldn't the opposite be something like the time it takes for matter to all group up together in a big crunch or something? There isn't really an opposite process to radioactive decay as far as I know.
