Heaviest Element Yet Known to Science Discovered
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California has now identified with
certainty the heaviest element known to science.
The new
element, Pelosium (PL), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy
neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312
particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by
vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Pelosium is
inert, and has no charge and no magnetism. Nevertheless, it can be detected
because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny
amount of Pelosium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a
second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Pelosium has a
normal half-life of 2 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a biennial
reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons
exchange places.
Pelosium mass will increase over time, since each reorganization will promote
many morons to become isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that
Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This
hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalyzed with money, Pelosium becomes Senatorium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Pelosium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
