Stupidium, Buffoonium, Ignoranium, and Naivium.

I while back I saw a very interesting story about the guy that created the “periodic table”, a Russian IIRC.

What I found fascinating was that he predicted there would be additional elements that would be discovered.

It was like missing pieces of a puzzle.

Check the end of the article - this is stated there:

This article was amended on 4 January 2016. The reference to the new elements being 'manmade' was changed to 'synthetic' to follow Guardian style guidance on the use of gender-neutral terms.
