Bob Lazar and Element 115, page 3

A word about Element 115 from the Lazar Tape (1989):

Naturally occurring element 115 could only be found in a solar system much, much larger than ours. The 2 main factors which determine the residual matter that remains after the creation of that solar system is the amount of electromagnetic energy and the amount of mass present at the time of the creation of that solar system. A much larger solar system than the one earth is in would have had to have been created to have element 115 occurring as a natural element. No, there is no possiblility that the aliens are mining it here or we are making it here.

Element 118 Dropped from Periodic Table

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory (LBL) have formally
retracted their claims for the
discovery of the most massive chemical
element. The synthesis of the
"superheavy" element 118, comprising
118 protons and 175 nucleons, was
announced in a 1999 paper in Physical
Review Letters. The results appeared to
confirm theories from the 1970s that
predicted heightened stability for
nuclei containing around 114 protons
and 184 neutrons.

The retraction, published in the
current Physical Review Letters,
follows failures to reproduce the
reported results by the Berkeley
researchers and also by scientists in
Germany and Japan. After re analysis of
the original data using different
software codes, the team was forced to
admit that their evidence for element
118 was spurious, prompting all but one
of the original paper=s authors to
endorse the retraction.

The initial results had been seen as an
early success for the newly constructed
Berkeley Gas filled Separator (BGS).
The team bombarded a lead 208 target
with neutron rich krypton 86 ions, in
an 88 inch Cyclotron, creating heavy
compound nuclei. They then used strong
magnetic fields in the BGS to separate
the putative element 118 ions. The
Berkeley lab is not currently answering
questions about how the
misidentification process occurred, but
some media outlets have reported
falsification of the results by one
team member.

The original announcement came soon
after the successful production of
element 114 by scientists at Russia=s
Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in
Dubna , in January 1999. LBL
researchers believed that their newly
formed element 118, dubbed "ununoctium"
(meaning one one eight), radioactively
decayed within milliseconds, to create
the element 116 also never previously
synthesized. Since then, the Russian
scientists have used a different method
to reproduce element 116, but at least
for now, element 118 must remain
crossed off the Periodic Table. Zeeya
