Meanwhile, on other sites, things like discussions turn adversarial. Famously, one seems distinct that way. Had to flame back a couple myself! Yes, I'm serial...the kindest, most even tempered coot around!
Another edits posts that mention chinesium. A made up word used by a comparatively innocuous group. Because generators of the 119th element might be offended.
So I started calling it exactly that, 119th element. I'm sure a new, real element will be discovered and take its place. So guess which will be 120th?

**Isambard** · Apr 1, 2021, 08:12 PM

Unobtanium?

Cheers
Isambard.

**Toolmaker51** · Apr 4, 2021, 01:46 PM

Would not Unobtainium, time comes, be the ultimate element name to use?
Wonder how long ago (and how many times) they thought "there can't, I say can't POSSIBLY be any more".

**Isambard** · Apr 4, 2021, 04:23 PM

But it is the ultimate, by its very nature...

When they discover organic metal that can be cultivated naturally but only in the vacuum or deeper space, they need to come talk to me I'll provide the name for it.
Triteramainium. this metal can be grown into any shape is completely impervious to all reactive chemicals blocks all forms of radiation. 1000 times more impact resistant than depleted uranium has twice the density of osmium and has half the weight of Hydrogen.
