For most of us it is the last day of high school.
Bad place to go for any understanding of any subject - I canceled my subscription due to the total hype of the misleading headlines, the bad writing, lack of images of subject and so on. Mostly a lefty screed for science hype - climate change and the like.
The laws of infinity demand no answer. We can’t borrow what is not due...

I would suppose that theoretically there would be none.
Practically, however, there has got to be a limit as those heaviest atoms are extremely unstable and there is probably a point where the instability precludes an chance that the atom would hold together at all.
Metalpause. There may be hot flashes, though.
Just as Pluto is not a planet, these man-made transient atoms are not elements.
It ends with Unobtainium. It’s a little further down than Wonderflonium.
After the Periodic Table, the next graphic to complete is the sub-atomic particles. We keep finding new ones of them also.
Number 74 on the periodic table, this element’s symbol is W.
There’s always dark matter to describe.
Possibly that’s where stupidium, a super dense and highly common form of matter will be eventually found.
I know the ones on one side are pretty darned Nobel. They aren’t making more of that.
Are any of them named Dylithium? Without Dylithium we will never get star drives working...
I give it about 100 billion years.
An oldie, but a goodie!
The heaviest element known to science was recently
discovered by investigators at a major
U.S. research university. The element, tentatively
named Administratium, has no protons or electrons
and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it
does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75
vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons,
which gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312
particles are held together by a force that
involves the continuous exchange of meson-like
particles called morons.
Since it has no electrons, administratium is
inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it
impedes every reaction it comes in contact
with. According to the discoverers, a minute amount
of administratium causes one reaction to take over
four days to complete when it would have normally
occurred in less than a second.
Administratium has a normal half-life of
approximately three years, at which time it does
not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization
in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and
assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Some
studies have shown that the atomic mass actually
increases after each reorganization.
Research at other laboratories indicates that
administratium occurs naturally in the
atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain
points such as government agencies, large
corporations, and universities. It can usually be
found in the newest, best appointed, and best
maintained buildings.
Scientists point out that administratium is known
to be toxic at any level of concentration and can
easily destroy any productive reaction where it is
allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to
determine how administratium can be controlled to
prevent irreversible damage, but results to date
are not promising.
