IUPAC currently recognises 118 chemical elements. The last twenty have half-lives shorter than Australian prime ministers, and are of equally limited utility to science. However, physicists have predicted that an island of nuclear stability may exist around element 126, containing long-lived isotopes. We propose that this island is actually 400 light-years away.
From the article, that should be 10^17 kg/m^3, not 1017kg/m^3. No, I haven’t checked the conversion to aircraft carriers per trucknut, I’m going to take the original author’s word for it.
That’s what I get for only reading the comment. That changes it to ~5.9e-3 m^3 per set of truck nuts, which is 5.9L per set. Still a little large for most people, I think.
