@frogeyedpeas No, there actually cannot be any elements after 147 (or is 137?), the problem arises with the strong nuclear force. This force is very strong but also has a very short reach. I don't know the math off the top of my head but basically what happens is that there are so many protons and neutrons in the nucleus that the strong nuclear force cannot reach all the way across the nucleus making it too unstable to stay together. It would immediately decay into smaller elements.
u know what my father named me after this man. roentgen, and when someone hears it, it suddenly pops thru their minds, that he is the man who invented x rays.. phew
it means that all the elements after this haven't been made yet or it is debatable that they have been made or not enough has been made and so they are called like unonoctium go to wikipedia and look at a "full" periodic table and you will understand.
I liked unununium better =P Though it was never there to stay anyway.

You pronunciation of Röntgen is actually pretty spot on. (Native german speaker here)

Is it weird that when he said "we can see things people have swollowed that they shouldn't have" I immediately thought of semen? :S

Wait, if it's german, and there's an oe, then wouldn't it be "Rerntgenium".

Hardest for the professor (who is the best XD) to say eh... I said it on the first shot but sometimes mess up on ruthenium.

is it possible that after somewhile in the periodic table there will be an element so heavy that it collapses into a black hole,
element # 3455
Blackholium
Description: an element so damn heavy it collapses into a black hole

i belive it doesn't work like that

blackholium, nice lol

it would have to weigh 1.4 times more than the sun, which i imagine would be pretty unstable

Actually to create a black hole you also need to decrease the volume
The atom would be far to big and disperse

Keep vigilant for cornholium as well.

Why not quote The Professor and make this your slogan...

I love these videos, but I just find this hilarious
Let the clip load all the way, then, leaving it paused, click around to random parts of the clip and watch the Professor's face, I find it hilarious

I want to bring to your attention that in the German speaking world, X-rays are called "Röntgenstrahlen", "Röntgen-rays".

Good thing about x-rays. The whole business of cutting people's hands open in order to see the bones was a lot of bother, and quite a mess.

Cool, X-ray is called röntgen in Swedish, that's pronounced the same as Roentgen.
