Hey guys, I was watching the news earlier today and i saw something strange: http://www.gravitywarpdrive.com/Element_115.htmhttp://www.abovetopsecret.com/pages/element115.htmlhttp://www.meta-religion.com/Paranormale/UFO/element_115.htmIm the kind of person that is extremely interested in science, always has been. And im curious if anyone else heard about this and thinks there might be some truth? About anything. Though im highly doubting a bunch of aliens gave us a ship, but if this element is in existance and what it can actually do.

Element 115
-
I'm interested in it... but I haven't got a clue what it all means :grin:
-
Weird. It looks like another myth is developing.
-
It doesn't explain why there would be an "anti-matter" reaction or where the anti-matter comes from for the idea. I'm talking about the article that explains it's use as an "anti-matter engine" (sounds more like fiction to me than reality in how they didn't explain once how it worked). The only thing that was explained is the nuclear process of making element 115 and why it's so hard to make a stable form of it. *I only read the first article when I first wrote this, and the others do explain it better. There's still things that I don't know whether to believe or not (the alleged area 51 ship). So much of this stuff needs to be taken with a grain of salt (how is this supposed to mean what it does mean?).
-
Sounds like some crazy crop-circle- alien-autopsy-type foolishness. There's also lots of pretty amazing real science out there as well.
-
I read about that 10 years ago in a UFO book, something about some fraud named Bob Lazar claimed to have worked at area 51 or some shit, he was discredited, it was proved a hoax
-
There's no element 115 in my Merck Index (aka the Bible )Of course, this is a mere book, made out of paper, and there are no aliens listed in the credits (unless Martha Windholz is in fact a Grey in disguise)
-
i dont even get the point of all those extra elements at the bottom of the periodic table, theyre not really actual elements, theyre just created in labs, and they dont even survive in that state for an entire second, they just turn into some other element
-
yeh, the Lanthanoids & Actinoids don't do us much good in our day to day lives. Maybe they will be used in ant-grav drives and ray guns.
-
The lanthanides aren't the heaviest elements; most aren't radioactive, and they have some useful properties - they are used in lighter flints, for example.The actinides are heavy and radioactive. They include uranium, and some heavy radioisotopes used in medicine and some smoke detectors.The really heavy, really unstable elements have gone beyond the actinides into the fourth row of the transition metals, and elements beyond 113 go beyond even that into the main groups. 115 would be a pnictide (group 15 in the new numbering).
-
Sure, the lanthanides are all lighter than radium
Did you know that Cf Californium was recently declared to be the most expensive substance in the world? -
Even more expensive than Cre (CaliforniaRealEstateium) or PhD (ParisHiltonsDogium)?Is there any physical limit to an atom's atomic number, or can you grow the nucleus indefinitely, given enough protons, neutrons, and energy?
-
There's no absolute limit, but the general trend (with bumps) is that the bigger the nucleus, the less stable it is, and therefore the shorter its half-life.
