recently the periodic table of elements got 2 more elements. known with the very creative names of "element 116" and "element 114" the two new elements were created in labs. and people say alchemy is dead. what i dont get is if in a lab they dont know what they're going to get and they get it, but if they're going for something specific, say gold, they cant get it. as Bill O'Rielly once said "you cant explain that!"
in my opinion unless the element can be sustained outside the lab, it wont really change anything. now if we can get it out of the lab and use it for something then it would be worth some attention but for now it's a lost cause.
