      The periodic table has been proposed to get to element 126, so we estimate another 8 new elements in the near future.

    A lot of the new elements being discovered are incredibly unstable, and break up quickly into others. Some physicists recon there is a golden area where elements are stable again, so if we make them we can really study them
