If you had to a create a super element to be added to the periodic table, what would it be? I'm talking about it's properties.. give me some good techno babble.
That might be normal, in that I've seen a neutron described as a proton and a positron stuck together.Algr said:If we are in technobabble, then maybe it has a positron, or some other exotic particle in the nucleus!
Actually, I think for an element as heavy as what he's talking about, this would be "fartronics net supermetafart"Algr said:... fartronics net metafart ...
That would have to be a proton and an electron stuck together, otherwise the net charge would be double, not zero. If an atom had anti-neutrons in it instead of regular neutrons, what effect would that have? Would it make any difference?Danger said:That might be normal, in that I've seen a neutron described as a proton and a positron stuck together.
That's what I meant to type. I was already thinking my next thought, and it somehow sneaked out through my fingers. Thanks for pointing that out.Algr said:That would have to be a proton and an electron stuck together
Yes this sort of thing, thank youCzcibor said:What about assume that the island of stability actually occurs:

(science at this moment - it's still unknown)
If yes, then it's a heavy transuranic element, which has got more or less predicted chemical properties.

Just make up story that's quite effective fissile nuclear fuel.
[EDIT] This stuff don't exist in nature, but has to be produced first in accelerators/reactors. It would not be a way producing energy, but theoretically could be a way of storing energy for space ships[/EDIT]
Is that what you wanted?
Yes this is also good. But why must an atom made of muons be inherently unstable? I'm trying to minimize how much hand-waving I have here, but the fact is, some will probably be required. The specific structural features of the material are an undeveloped part of my plot. It's something that the human governments fight wars over, something that the aliens once had.QuantumPion said:How about an atom made with muons instead of electrons? Such an element could potentially have unusual properties, extreme densities, material strength, etc if you somehow get around them being unstable. There's also the possibility of atoms made up of exotic baryons (sigma, delta, lamba, omega, xi) instead of protons and neutrons.

Danger said:Their mother made these biscuits once. I don't know what the hell they were composed of, but Joe threw one onto the kitchen floor, after breaking a tooth on it, and it dented the linoleum.
We'll probably never know, because no rocket that I'm aware of could get it up there in the first place.Khatti said:Hmmmm. I wonder how the biscuit would stand up under reentry?
A supernatural element is any aspect or force that exists outside of the natural world and cannot be explained by scientific means. It is often associated with beliefs in the supernatural, such as ghosts, magic, and divine beings.
As supernatural elements are not able to be observed or measured by traditional scientific methods, it is not considered a valid subject of study for most scientists. However, some researchers may approach the topic through cultural and psychological perspectives.
No, supernatural elements cannot be proven or disproven using the scientific method. This is because they operate outside of the laws and principles that govern the natural world, making them untestable and unverifiable through empirical evidence.
No, there are no scientific theories that support the existence of supernatural elements. The scientific method relies on empirical evidence and reproducible results, and supernatural elements do not fit within this framework.
Beliefs in supernatural elements can have a significant impact on society, as they often shape cultural and religious practices. They can also influence individual behavior and decision-making, and can be a source of comfort or fear for individuals.
