    If you're wondering how FIONA got its name, the team was watching Burn Notice when they were building it and Fiona is a character on the show. They decided they wanted to name it after her, so Dr. Gates came up with an acronym: "For the Identification Of Nuclide A." "A” represents the scientific symbol for an element’s mass number. Sometimes names come first, and acronyms come later! What would you name your superheavy-element-hunting-machine?

      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.

      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.

    • @Seeker
      @Seeker  5 лет назад +82

      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."

      @@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.

      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. As recently as 2017 Lazar's business United Nuclear was raided by the FBI because a customer bought thallium from the company to poison his wife, Janel Sturzl. Some believe the larger reason for the raid was to uncover any 115 Lazar may have possessed.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    • @splashykoy11
      @splashykoy11 2 года назад +3

      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.

    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.

      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).

    The "Periodic Table" has been a serious concern to myself and the difficulty is logically trying to fully understand why we do not have all the pieces and why they are missing. We all understand that the Universe is made of numbers.
    The trouble that we are now facing is how do we explain some new "Exotic Elements" that unofficially should technically not exist on the new periodic table. A 150 years have passed, and the so called the truth of the matter is that we still have so many gaps. Whilst the world is racing to get A.I. off the ground, it's still going to be awhile before it wraps its mind around not just identifying these new elements but more importantly how it can produce them.
    The lower end of the table will be it's first priority, as that will be in many ways ground-breaking and will be a huge leap for research engineers and those pioneering this field of science. The problem is advance A.I. will surpass the minds of those who have been leading the way so far. A.I. software will need to be technically dumbed down in order for our brightest minds to get their heads around it.
    The other problem is far more difficult, and as mentioned above, is the so called "Exotic Elements" as they are not resourced or readily available here on Earth, but was acquired through trade from "E.T.'s" however that would then require disclosure which I cannot see ever happening. There would need to be a global reset for it to be ushered in.
