The answer to the titular question comes at 55:00 The answer is maybe. Fission and decay of spherical nuclei above atomic number 184 would be too quick to say that anything really exists there, but possible nucleus topologies like balls or toroids might be stable in large configurations and future computer models might help us predict those. Then the problem would be figuring out a way to make those exotic nuclei.
I don't think we got a satisfactory answer to the question why there were two elements that were grayed out in the astrophysical source of the elements chart. I wondered about that as well. It's amazing how someone so smart as the lecturer can be so annoyingly thick headed as to not understand a very simple question spoken in plain English.
Those two Elements, Technetium Tc 43 and Prometheum Pm 61, are Grayed out as they have not been found in nature anywhere because they decay so quickly. They are however created synthetically in Particle Accelerators. Tc has applications in the medical industry as it's used in bone scan imaging and Prometheum has been used as small radioactive batteries and glow in the dark paint.

Hey, I like physics and chemistry presentations!

THIS WAS A MISTAKE
Not so much. Puzzles can be fun.
What about a neutron star? Sure it’s held together by gravity instead of the strong force, but it is essentially a giant nucleus
