New Element-Governmentium
A major research institution, The University of Toledo, has recently
announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to
science. The new element has been tentatively named Governmentium.
Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons,
and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are
surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be
detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A minute amount of Governmentium causes one reaction to take over 4 days
to complete when it would normally take less than a second. It
undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons
and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will
actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause some
morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of
moron promotion leads some scientists to speculate that Governmentium is
formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.
Corollary #1 If Governmentium is added in significant quantities to a
reaction it becomes excited and achieves a gaseous state. Once the
gaseous state is achieved Governmentium transforms to yet another new
element Unobtainium.
