Thanks for this- very interesting. I wonder whether any of these elements, however, can exist in the real world. I'd been in touch recently with Prof. Pyykko-...

Good exercise in extrapolation. How is it related to reality? Elements 139 and 140 fitted between 164 and 169 would not make Mendeleev happy. Old rule of...

On the other hand things start to go haywire already before element 120, it would seem. And, for those of you into pattern pressure, it looks as if left-hand...
