All elements above atomic number 92 do not occur naturally, leading to the conclusion that all naturally occurring elements have been discovered. The discussion emphasizes that while it is theoretically possible for elements with atomic numbers higher than 118 to exist, their discovery in nature is highly unlikely without redefining the conditions of neutron stars. The concept of "islands of stability" suggests that these elements, if they existed, would have been found given the age of the universe and their short half-lives.

Oh haha you mean like neutronium?Bystander said:"Possible?" Yes.
Likely? Without redefinition of neutron stars ---- no.
