Welllll teeeechnically since there is no such thing as deceleration, only acceleration against the velocity vector of an object. If you accelerated to a stop then you are no longer moving at a fraction of the speed of light. Meaning, an accelerator that accelerates you to not a fraction of the speed of light.

@@Helloverlord It's an interesting psychology study and I do recommend people read it! However, you're failing to realize that there are *many* highly-intelligent and skilled people, especially scientists, alive today and making incredible studies every single day. It's difficult to know how many living geniuses there are at any given moment, we can only find out by letting them make their discoveries and produce their groundbreaking research. In 50 years, there will be plenty of books, movies, shows, documentaries and history papers about dozens of total geniuses alive right now and how they completely changed our scientific understanding of the universe. And as long as the human species doesn't wipe itself out through global nuclear war, extreme anthropogenic climate change disasters, and or suffer from a series of natural cataclysms like a massive asteroid or CME, then there will continue to be more and more brilliant minds. That's why it's of the utmost importance to support public education and accessible/affordable higher-level education and university for as many human beings as possible, as well as to fight as hard as we can to reduce the impact of climate change and lower the probability of nuclear wars by supporting leaders who think rationally, logically, compassionately, and embrace public education, healthcare, and science funding.
@@metanumia : I didnt fail to understand anything, but I got a question for you: who is funding general education? Is it a government in most of the cases? Who is choosing a govt? How do you expect for a undereducated person to advance in science? Why are military budgets so high compared to science ones if we are so smart and advancing? ...and of course it will be one off wonders here and there but Im thinking overall...
As a Chemistry student and lover this is amazing and scarry at the same time, im having a really hard time calculating things with the elements we already know so all i can imagine is my crazy teachers asking us to play around some massive numbers coming from these new discoveries 😶.
U-238 is close enough. Find something to smash it with that puts out anything except neutrinos and hard gammas so we don't need much shielding. Pretty sure the cross section on some elements makes it easy to block charged muons and fast neutrons. If one in particular releases nearly all the matter into energy that can be recovered thermally then that would be almost a holy grail except for the energy you put into the accelerator. Fast neutron reactors would do just this: burn U-238 with neutrons above 1MeV.
We definitely wanted to include it, but there wasn't enough time! We did ask Dr. Shaughnessy about it though-- here's what she said: "We don't quite know if we're there yet. We do see an effect in that element 114 is longer lived than element 115, the half-life reduces dramatically going from 114 to 115. The problem is in our experiments we don't have enough neutrons in the system, because it's not just protons, but the neutrons come into play, and so we're not quite at the center of the island of stability. We're sort of out on the shore, so we're seeing an effect, but we're not able to say that we're there exactly yet."
@@Seeker - I have heard of using different neutron configurations to change the configuration and chemistry of the nucleus. Something about how 4 neutrons could be fused together in a solid block which could improve the stability of the nucleus. I'd love to hear if any research was done regarding that over the past few years.

Yes, the electrogravitic drive of the "sport model" was fueled by (then called) Ununpentium. A-gravity (atomic gravity) can be amplified when irradiated because the electron orbits extend so far out. How the Greys managed to find or synthesize enough 115 to make use of it is an open question.

@ninjarawr21 God, how spoiled these kids are to live a better life than us even though our life goal was to ensure our children had a better life than us.
Fascinating. In college, I only had inorganic chemistry and basic physics for my Engineering degrees (and this was back in the late 80s, early 90s). So my question is rather basic. I learned that the proper atomic model for electrons is an electron cloud, not the classic Bohr model of orbiting electrons. But the video mentions electrons reaching Relativistic speeds. I am not sure what I am missing, but I want to understand how Relativistic speeds would apply to the electron cloud model. It would seem (at first blush) that it would only matter in Bohr's classic model.
An important little detail of the early work on the Periodic Table was left out. Mendeleev studied increasingly heavy elements, but encountered discrepancies. Those discrepancies were worked out by Henry Mosely, who distinguished atomic number (number of protons) from atomic weight.
Erratum: at time 2:31 (min:seg) a table is shown that has four wrong atomic numbers: Ir 78, Pt 79, Au 80, and Hg 81 (they should be 77, 78, 79 and 80, respectively).
Heavy nuclei elements are extremely unstable. But it'd be very fun to observe their properties and behaviors. And how they change quickly in a short amount of time during their transformation into stable elements. But if you can go further, if you can create the heaviest nucleus, surpassing the limit, then theoretically, it could cause gravitational collapse though. But it will be super-stable. Then we can also perform gravitational lensing experiments, in a lab. And also we can test Quantum Entanglement in a new way by beaming one of the entangled photons into the heaviest element.
StiX you’d have to add about 8 neutrons to element 115 to make it stable, you’d have to do in a fraction of a second. It’s difficult to even add 1 neutron to an element using our current technology
Why is Albert Ghiorso's name not on any of the elements of the Periodic Table ?? He discovered more elements, 12, than anyone in the modern era. He was well liked and a creative and enormously talented Physicist.
A few ms later you have almost 500 lbs of moscovioum heated into an expanding, incandescent plasma that briefly sets the entire room on fire before blowing it away; and that's assuming an ordinary, boring alpha-decay of a modest 5 MeV. if it's fissile and has a spontaneous fission decay mode, then it will release 3.5 MT of explosive energy in a couple of milliseconds. A few seconds later you have an expanding fire ball, turning into a mushroom cloud where your building used to be. Roughly 1 minute later you have 1 atom of moscovium left somewhere in that mushroom cloud (again, unless it's fissile, then it will be gone much quicker).
Without relativistic effects, element 120 would be placed under the noble gasses. The Periodic table is like a stooped hour-glass shape. The energy levels of the electron orbits causes it to "skip" the next step of orbits in places. That's why for the otherwise irregular shape and arrangement of the periodic table. If we account for this "skipping" the table would look much more hour-glass shaped. And that hour-glass shape puts the bottom-right element as 120. It also predicts that 122 will also be in the noble gasses, as we move on to building the next hour-glass.
We have to create means to increase gravity inside some of those experimental chambers so that those heavier elements don't decay as fast , this is a huge challenge of its own since we lack the underlying science to accomplish such a feat. A much easier thing we could do is rise the temperature of the targeted plate to ridiculous levels and try to cool the particles targeting the plate so that the probability of a collision is higher. Another possibility would involve creating new geometries of magnetic fields so that the fundamental laws of electromagnetism are actually inverted on one end of this reaction (such as the plate or the particles hitting it) so that the collisions are much more likely to occur because their respective nuclei would be drawn to each other instead of repelling. Some hinted that element 115 is part of the stability island of heavier elements , though I am not sure which elements would be required to create such a material.
5 ปีที่แล้ว
What? Element 115 was discovered in 2003 and in 2016 was officially named muscovium. Four atoms were formed by bombarding americium with calcium ions. The most stable isotope has a half life of 220 milliseconds, so is not in the island of stability which is higher up the table.
First background music track reminded me of one of the Doom themes, and the second music track of Mass Effect (a kind of variation on "Spectre Induction" by Jack Wall & Sam Hulick). I'd very much like these videos to mention or list the soundtracks used, would be nice.
If the pressure in the cores of neutron stars are capable of pressing atomic nuclei together into, like, city-sized clumps, wouldn't that imply that an element could exist with literally any atomic weight? Or am I missing something?
You guys should do a video on the facility for rare isotope beams at Michigan state, took a tour of it last week and they are very close to creating the world first linear accelerator which is able to accelerate particles 100x faster then a centripetal accelerator... very fascinating
So you take two elements to make a new element. You've fused it. Great! When it breaks down, does it go back to the two elements that were originally used to make the new element? If not, is it randomly decaying to different elements, or is it predictable?
It decays based on how unstable it is. There are 3 types of radiation, Alpha radiation, Beta radiation, and Gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is where an unstable atom emits a helium nucleus (2 neutrons and 2 protons). There are actually two types of Beta decay, but they both involve the emission of an electron. And finally, Gamma radiation, where an unstable atom emits a high energy photon. There are other less common types of decay, such as Neutron emission, Proton emission, Cluster decay, Electron capture, and Spontaneous fission. The type of decay an atom goes through depends on its number of protons and neutrons.
That's exactly what I was thinking lmaooo, like I was imagining she was just looking at them laughing at first like "really you just want me to turn this knob, it just the knob to adjust the height?" and the producers were all like "yeah yeah yeah, that's perfect keep doing that" 😂
8.20 your periodic table is showing element 115 as Muscovium, however, element no 115 is Ununpentium, and that's the element shown on a normal periodic table and occupying that particular space.
Well, considering it would be a breach of clearance, thus treasonous to say the REAL element that was used (or theorized, tested, or planned)... 'there is another' that can stand in, the humble U-238 with a very stable half-life compared to its peers, at over 4 billion years. You could say that its almost a sore thumb in the chaotic ocean, teeming with possibilities.
~8:50 - "How many elements are there in the universe?" Personally, I'm not sure that things that exist for femtoseconds really count as existing. Or at least, about as much as the virtual particles of quantum foam.
For those commenting on her phrase "fraction of the speed of light": A massive particle is relativistic when its total mass-energy (rest mass + kinetic energy) is at least twice its rest mass. This condition implies that the particle's speed is close to the speed of light. According to the Lorentz factor formula, this requires the particle to move at 86.6025% or more of the speed of light. A charged relativistic particle crossing the interface of two media with different dielectric constants emits transition radiation. This is exploited in the transition radiation detectors of high-velocity particles. (I spared you the great fun of Lorentz factor formulas) I'm fairly sure this is what she meant, and I'm pretty sure for the vast majority of us (including me, actually) it would go right over our heads and just be confusing. I think it's even likely the filmmaker edited out a full explanation given either beforehand or afterward. Sure it's a funny gaffe, but she's struggling to communicate to those who are much less knowledgeable, (the interviewer and camera person probably know zero physics, anyways). Give her a break.
I'm a nuclear engineering grad student, and I do not have a lot of experience with experiments of this nature. I was just wondering what are the implications behind trying to bombard an SHE with neutrons? Could this induce rapid neutron capture and provide stability to the newly created element? I understand that we don't really know anything about the cross section for neutron absorption on these heavier elements. It seems like it would be a good thing to try, because increasing the lifespan should aid in the ability to study them. I guess one of the key factors preventing this would be the cost of adding a neutron source to the already expensive SHE generator.

Fascinating. In college, I only had inorganic chemistry and basic physics for my Engineering degrees (and this was back in the late 80s, early 90s). So my question is rather basic.
I learned that the proper atomic model for electrons is an electron cloud, not the classic Bohr model of orbiting electrons. But the video mentions electrons reaching Relativistic speeds.
I am not sure what I am missing, but I want to understand how Relativistic speeds would apply to the electron cloud model. It would seem (at first blush) that it would only matter in Bohr's classic model.
What is the difference between cyclotron and particle accelerator?? Help me out
Wow, i feel like a peasant among generations of alchemists. Amazing!
115 is so exciting!
I find it utterly astonishing that the chemistry of such a small number of atoms can be studied at all.
I see no man in lab coat

@@yeahkeen2905 Because there's no logic in caring at all. What is between your legs has nothing to do with what is between your ears.
An important little detail of the early work on the Periodic Table was left out. Mendeleev studied increasingly heavy elements, but encountered discrepancies. Those discrepancies were worked out by Henry Mosely, who distinguished atomic number (number of protons) from atomic weight.
Neat stuff. Can’t wait for the day when men can be interviewed in science vids again.
Huh? Are you jealous of FIONA?
I work in this lab in Russia. Nice to see it in your video.
How to keep those heavy atoms stable? Add more gluons!
they wouldn't know they were unstable if they were travelling at relativistic speeds!
Knowledge, Strength, Integrity were the ones being pushed yesterday
If only you could get your hands on Bob Lazar's piece of stable element 115 and bombard that within this machine....
They do stuff in top secret labs all the time Godcaly123 on 115 !
Erratum: at time 2:31 (min:seg) a table is shown that has four wrong atomic numbers: Ir 78, Pt 79, Au 80, and Hg 81 (they should be 77, 78, 79 and 80, respectively).
Scientist : Found new elements
Me : Barely remembering the periodic table
Heavy nuclei elements are extremely unstable. But it'd be very fun to observe their properties and behaviors. And how they change quickly in a short amount of time during their transformation into stable elements. But if you can go further, if you can create the heaviest nucleus, surpassing the limit, then theoretically, it could cause gravitational collapse though. But it will be super-stable.
Then we can also perform gravitational lensing experiments, in a lab.
And also we can test Quantum Entanglement in a new way by beaming one of the entangled photons into the heaviest element.
what do you mean by "it could cause gravitational collapse"?
Stabilise element 115
StiX you’d have to add about 8 neutrons to element 115 to make it stable, you’d have to do in a fraction of a second.
It’s difficult to even add 1 neutron to an element using our current technology
they already have ;)
Greg James no they haven’t. It’s an unstable isotope of 115
@@izayakross7875 sure sure ;)
@@izayakross7875 add 8 neutrons compared to what base nucleus? What would be the final number of neutrons?
Why is Albert Ghiorso's name not on any of the elements of the Periodic Table ?? He discovered more elements, 12, than anyone in the modern era. He was well liked and a creative and enormously talented Physicist.
we have 500 lbs of element 115 at S4
A few ms later you have almost 500 lbs of moscovioum heated into an expanding, incandescent plasma that briefly sets the entire room on fire before blowing it away; and that's assuming an ordinary, boring alpha-decay of a modest 5 MeV. if it's fissile and has a spontaneous fission decay mode, then it will release 3.5 MT of explosive energy in a couple of milliseconds. A few seconds later you have an expanding fire ball, turning into a mushroom cloud where your building used to be. Roughly 1 minute later you have 1 atom of moscovium left somewhere in that mushroom cloud (again, unless it's fissile, then it will be gone much quicker).
Without relativistic effects, element 120 would be placed under the noble gasses. The Periodic table is like a stooped hour-glass shape. The energy levels of the electron orbits causes it to "skip" the next step of orbits in places. That's why for the otherwise irregular shape and arrangement of the periodic table. If we account for this "skipping" the table would look much more hour-glass shaped.
And that hour-glass shape puts the bottom-right element as 120.
It also predicts that 122 will also be in the noble gasses, as we move on to building the next hour-glass.
so, Pam went from a secretary to a scientist, what a jump
We have to create means to increase gravity inside some of those experimental chambers so that those heavier elements don't decay as fast , this is a huge challenge of its own since we lack the underlying science to accomplish such a feat. A much easier thing we could do is rise the temperature of the targeted plate to ridiculous levels and try to cool the particles targeting the plate so that the probability of a collision is higher. Another possibility would involve creating new geometries of magnetic fields so that the fundamental laws of electromagnetism are actually inverted on one end of this reaction (such as the plate or the particles hitting it) so that the collisions are much more likely to occur because their respective nuclei would be drawn to each other instead of repelling. Some hinted that element 115 is part of the stability island of heavier elements , though I am not sure which elements would be required to create such a material.
What?
Element 115 was discovered in 2003 and in 2016 was officially named muscovium. Four atoms were formed by bombarding americium with calcium ions. The most stable isotope has a half life of 220 milliseconds, so is not in the island of stability which is higher up the table.
First background music track reminded me of one of the Doom themes, and the second music track of Mass Effect (a kind of variation on "Spectre Induction" by Jack Wall & Sam Hulick).
I'd very much like these videos to mention or list the soundtracks used, would be nice.
If the pressure in the cores of neutron stars are capable of pressing atomic nuclei together into, like, city-sized clumps, wouldn't that imply that an element could exist with literally any atomic weight? Or am I missing something?
Are there no men working at the site? My daughter actually caught that one... apparently it's a field reserved for women?

Interesting that CIA is not sharing their supply of 115 with them.
You guys should do a video on the facility for rare isotope beams at Michigan state, took a tour of it last week and they are very close to creating the world first linear accelerator which is able to accelerate particles 100x faster then a centripetal accelerator... very fascinating
Man im a big fan of heavy metal
Surprised you guy didn't mention "islands of stability", that's quite possibly the most important prospect of their work.
So you take two elements to make a new element. You've fused it. Great! When it breaks down, does it go back to the two elements that were originally used to make the new element? If not, is it randomly decaying to different elements, or is it predictable?
It decays based on how unstable it is. There are 3 types of radiation, Alpha radiation, Beta radiation, and Gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is where an unstable atom emits a helium nucleus (2 neutrons and 2 protons). There are actually two types of Beta decay, but they both involve the emission of an electron. And finally, Gamma radiation, where an unstable atom emits a high energy photon. There are other less common types of decay, such as Neutron emission, Proton emission, Cluster decay, Electron capture, and Spontaneous fission. The type of decay an atom goes through depends on its number of protons and neutrons.
1:55 she is wrong, plutonium exists naturally on earth, although in very small trace amounts.

8.20 your periodic table is showing element 115 as Muscovium, however, element no 115 is Ununpentium, and that's the element shown on a normal periodic table and occupying that particular space.

Well, considering it would be a breach of clearance, thus treasonous to say the REAL element that was used (or theorized, tested, or planned)... 'there is another' that can stand in, the humble U-238 with a very stable half-life compared to its peers, at over 4 billion years. You could say that its almost a sore thumb in the chaotic ocean, teeming with possibilities.
A complex and somewhat esoteric topic clearly explained, at least to this layman. Many thanks. I wish those researchers success in their questing.

Personally, I'm not sure that things that exist for femtoseconds really count as existing. Or at least, about as much as the virtual particles of quantum foam.

You may wanna zoom into element 115, Bob Lazar said it's the fuel the aliens use to propel their flying saucer
For those commenting on her phrase "fraction of the speed of light": A massive particle is relativistic when its total mass-energy (rest mass + kinetic energy) is at least twice its rest mass. This condition implies that the particle's speed is close to the speed of light. According to the Lorentz factor formula, this requires the particle to move at 86.6025% or more of the speed of light. A charged relativistic particle crossing the interface of two media with different dielectric constants emits transition radiation. This is exploited in the transition radiation detectors of high-velocity particles. (I spared you the great fun of Lorentz factor formulas)
I'm fairly sure this is what she meant, and I'm pretty sure for the vast majority of us (including me, actually) it would go right over our heads and just be confusing. I think it's even likely the filmmaker edited out a full explanation given either beforehand or afterward. Sure it's a funny gaffe, but she's struggling to communicate to those who are much less knowledgeable, (the interviewer and camera person probably know zero physics, anyways). Give her a break.
I want to make a joke about this, but making superheavy atoms is no small matter.
It's definitely nothing to make light of.
This will open new research into new atom power sources and give us ideas of how atoms we know of work an better ways to use said atoms.
Fiona: Atoms have ORBITALS!
I'm a nuclear engineering grad student, and I do not have a lot of experience with experiments of this nature. I was just wondering what are the implications behind trying to bombard an SHE with neutrons? Could this induce rapid neutron capture and provide stability to the newly created element? I understand that we don't really know anything about the cross section for neutron absorption on these heavier elements. It seems like it would be a good thing to try, because increasing the lifespan should aid in the ability to study them. I guess one of the key factors preventing this would be the cost of adding a neutron source to the already expensive SHE generator.
Why is she wearing googles for the interview?
PPE requirements in the lab. Seeker wanted to have the interview in the lab, she probably informed them that they have to wear PPE if they shoot in there.
Makes here look legit 🤣
Because all of this is fake and its for the show
I liked the fact they named the last and the heaviest element Og.
