It's All About the Ununpentium
spitefulcrow writes "The New York Times is reporting that elements 113 and 115 have been created by a joint team of Russian and American scientists. The temporary names are ununtrium and ununpentium until the experiment has been duplicated and verified in another lab. According to the article, speculation has been made that 'Rather than being round, nuclei in that region and beyond could contain bubbles and have strange doughnut-like shapes'."
The first experiments into this area created a gateway into another dimension. The horrors which came through the gateway before it could be closed are indescribable. Ever since, these scientists have worked under the constant, unblinking eye of these... things, knowing that if they ever waver or stray, they and their families will be fed to that which is only known in nightmares. Their task: to reopen the gateway to bring through others of their kind.
These scientists' lives are tinged with more fear that you will ever know. At least, more than you will know until they get that gateway open again.
Mod down posts with a "Free Mac Mini/iPod" sig, they're spam!
Botulism is over a thousand times more deadly.
And we have people injecting that stuff into their bodies for purely cosmetic reasons. That way they may look like what the media portrays as pretty. To top it off these people will then spend hundreds for stuff to "detox" their bodies right after. Yet you ask them about nuclear power and they will say something about how dangerous it is.
Is it just me or is the world going mad?
