Nuclear Physics For Dummies: Just Add Protons!
Nuclear physicists collectively facepalming right now! Creating new elements isn't like stacking Legos—it's more like trying to balance 118 angry cats in a nuclear reactor. Elements beyond uranium (92) are wildly unstable, with half-lives measured in microseconds. Our confident friend here thinks he's revolutionized chemistry by just... adding more protons? And naming it "Yomomnium"? The periodic table is SHAKING. The heaviest confirmed element (Oganesson, 118) required particle accelerators smashing nuclei together at near-light speeds, but sure, this guy solved it on a park bench with what appears to be... coffee and audacity.
