I know lifetime(assume T) and rotational correlation time (assume Q) are different and what they means, but my question is:  in time resolved anisotropy (r(t) )we are using time resolved  fluorescence decay profile (exp(-(t/T))with different polarization to generate anisotropy profile (r(t) ) and it seems that anisotropy has some relation with lifetime of probe

(r(t))~ exp(-(t/T))~t .

Here is the paradox! rotational correlation time is independent of lifetime and means other thing! r(t)=r0 exp(-(t/Q))~ exp(-(t/T))~t 

How we can solve this paradox?
