I am in my honeymoon phase with the fediverse.
I share what I’ve read and want others to discover also.

Some scientists argue that finding new elements is not worth the money, especially when those atoms are inherently unstable and will disappear in a blink. “I personally don’t find it exciting, as a scientist, just to produce more short-lived elements,” says Witold Nazarewicz, a physicist who studies nuclear structure at Michigan State University in East Lansing.
But to element hunters, the payoff is compelling. The new elements would extend the table—now seven rows deep—to an eighth row, where some theories predict exotic traits will emerge. Elements in that row might even destroy the table’s very periodicity because chemical and physical properties might not repeat at regular intervals anymore. Pushing further into the eighth row also could answer questions that scientists have wrestled with since Dmitri Mendeleev’s day: How many elements exist? And how far does the table go?

I don’t like that “resurrect extinct species” thing though. Even after reading about what could be its advantages, I don’t see how great it could be for us. If that goal could be removed when making such studies, it would be fine imo.
I have not seen myself closed enough until now. Just think that could be anytime and anywhere but nothing has really frightened me.
