Kriky, Will the wonders of science never end?....

Will the wonders of science never end?


A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of
the heaviest chemical element yet known to science. The new element
has been tentatively named Governmentium (Gv).  Governmentium has 1
neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant
deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which
are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called
peons. Since governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it
can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into
contact. A minute amount of governmentium causes one reaction to take
over four days to complete when it would normally take less than a
second.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of four years; it does not decay,
but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the
assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact,
governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each
reorganization will cause some morons to become neutrons, forming
isodopes.

This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to
speculate that governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain
quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to
as Critical Morass.
