Bismuth is actually radioactive too. but it's half life is so long that it is nearly impossible to witness it decay. being radioactive or unstable by itself does not make an element unnatural. many of these transuranic elements are synthesized in stellar explosions in tiny amounts. But in events more energetic than super novae they are probably produced in significant amounts. like gigatons worth in hyper novae or in certain binary systems.

Just because the element's period of existence is insignificant to you doesn't mean it is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
Smashing stuff together and counting the sparks. They can do that forever, the subatomic realm is like the Celestial one. Open ended, boundless, infinite.
The transuranic elements are all radioactive, most are man made. They are part of whats wrong with the world, imo. Nuclear power, Nuclear weapons and nuclear waste.
In chemistry, transuranium elements (also known as transuranic elements) are the chemical elements with atomic numbers greater than 92 (the atomic number of uranium). None of these elements are stable; they decay radioactively into other elements.
Bismuth has long been considered as the element with the highest atomic mass that is stable. However, in 2003 it was discovered to be weakly radioactive: its only primordial isotope, bismuth-209, decays via alpha decay with a half life more than a billion times the estimated age of the universe.[5]

Someone should drop the word "Chemical" from the title. Its the table of elements, not table of chemical elements.
Chemical usually refers to compounds.
Are these more momentary elements, here and gone in an instant?
Whoopee…

Peter Townshend’s Guru Meher Baba, once said that they’ll never stop finding these elements or parts of matter.
1000 years from now if the world isn’t destroyed because of their discovery of splitting the atom, these guys will still be finding particles and elements and claiming they have some kind of standard model

It's my belief that they will find more "islands of stability" or even one super-large one "giganeutronium"

It is good to see scientific advancements that show the awesome wonder of the universe and discovering new parameters to it's make up.
I'm glad that science is ever-evolving - constantly seeking to define that which is yet unknown.

One day science will finally discover that it has been constantly controlled, and stymied and told how to define that which is unknown.
4 years to sift through the data ??
Need to sift through the control schemes that own science....maybe we can get something done then.

Interesting point.
But is the sub atomic rely really infinite like the celestial one?
If we looked so far into an object what would we see?
Would it be a pure flat surface of light or a vacuum?
One would think that looking in at something has a boundary whereas looking out to anything would be infinite.
It's strange wording but ultimately we are always looking in at something.

IMO, science is not absolute; it expands, it questions, and is ever revealing truths waiting to be discovered.

There is already a name for that common element: Derivatives.
