The element nobody will be expecting: the element of surprise!
5th grade in mid 70’s we were required to memorize the periodic table and were told “THIS is everything that everything in made of..” I asked how that was possible and couldn’t there be more we haven’t found yet. Teacher berated me for “questioning” the scientists knowledge and told the class “they are much smarter than all of you..” Always wanted to go back and find that teacher after more and more elements have been added over the years.
Fun fact: Unobtanium is actually real... just written in a different language. Dysprosium's name comes from a Greek word that means "hard to get at" because the man who discovered it, Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran (what a name), had to try over 30 times to actually succeed in its extraction.
In 9th grade in my chemistry class i did this pretty cool exercise in thought where we looked at the fictional material vibranium from marvel and tried to figure out where it would go on the periodic table based on its properties. Fun stuff
I had a nightmare once that we synthesized element 125 and it instantly destroyed the universe
His T-shirt is literally the periodic table of minecraft💀
The sheer fact that we don't fully know yet what is required to make an atom stable means that there are most likely big surprises ahead of us.
We will be forced to start using 3 letter names for elements at 702 elements, but it's definitely gonna be earlier because ain't no one using Aa for an element
I'm old enough that I remember seeing the periodic table in chemistry class with elements 104 and up not even having proper names, just placeholder numeric names.
I read a paper a while back about the possiblity of a 'continent of stability'. Basically an Island of stability but could hold an entire periodic table's worth of new elements, made possible by strange quarks or something
