Still rooting for an Island of Stability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability

I'd heard of the island of stability but this one is new to me. I love the idea of there being loads more exotic elements to play with, and substances with densities far exceeding 22 kg/l (which it roughly where it tops out with currently-available elements).

I wonder if USPS would raise their flat rate shipping weight limit.

It is likely that it does not exists, otherwise we will be seeing these nucleotides in earth crust.

We don’t know these elements’ half lives to an order of magnitude of orders of magnitude. How could we predict their concentration in our crust?
