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.

I saw that special also. It really was fascinating. He left gaps in the table, where the undiscovered elements should be.

"he predicted there would be additional elements that would be discovered."

Now THERE was some Science...

Not like those Climate shills sucking $$$ from the Treasury.

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

LOL, I heard this in my head in Mr. Chekhov’s voice.

You mean Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev?
Mendeleev worked with Henry Moseley who figured out that Mendeleev had the periodic table out of order on several elements of similar atomic mass. Moseley fixed it and the credit was to be shared, but Moseley, 27, was shot in the head by a Turk at Galipoli and did not survive WW1.
Unfortunately the Nobel Prize is only awarded to living people, so Mendeleev took the credit and prize.
