Oh, I bought into it because it's "nonsense"? Is that right? Can you demonstrate that it's false? Can you explain to me why you think he would evaporate by holding the element? The element is not proton radiation itself. It is simply an element that can produce massive amounts of energy when it is bombarded by protons. The chunk of that element he was holding was not being bombarded by protons at that time, therefore he would NOT evaporate. That's a logical fallacy on your part.
No, it didn't go straight over my head. I don't think you understand the difference between the particular protons that bombard everything on Earth and the protons that are shot at different materials in laboratories. There's a huge difference there. Before you assert that his explanation is nonsensical, I suggest that you find a way to demonstrate that it's false. As for the material in his possession, you don't know all the details. You're obviously not Bob Lazar and you obviously do not fully know what he has gone through. For all we know, he could have had the piece of Ununpentium locked in a safe that he bought from a hardware store. Don't immediately dismiss something just because it seems absurd to you for whatever reason or excuse you have.

You, I and your cat are bombarded by protons at ANY time. I wrote it in the post (see "sea level"), but of course it went straight over your head.
He claims that some strong gravity exists in superheavy elements, then somehow 116 falls apart anyhow. And there are any number of nonsensical mantras he keeps repeating.
And of course, I just love it that the most valuable material on Earth (and maybe in the Galaxy) was left in his apartment (or so he says) without any safeguarding. Yeah right. So of course anyone can say that it was "stolen".

Gravitation is by far the weakest of the four interactions. Hence it is always ignored when doing particle physics. see here
The strong interaction, or strong nuclear force, is the most complicated interaction, mainly because of the way it varies with distance. At distances greater than 10 femtometers, the strong force is practically unobservable. Moreover, it holds only inside the atomic nucleus. After the nucleus was discovered in 1908, it was clear that a new force was needed to overcome the electrostatic repulsion, a manifestation of electromagnetism, of the positively charged protons. Otherwise the nucleus could not exist.see here

It isn't necessarily protons bombarding us, but rather photons from ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun. In a controlled environment under laboratory conditions (in a tube or small space), protons that are slammed into certain elements or even other atomic/subatomic particles at 99% the speed of light can cause massive bursts of energy. The Large Hadron Collider is a good example. They're smashing particles together every day to figure out exactly how the universe began. When the particles collide, large amounts of energy is produced, sometimes in the form of quark-gluon plasma that can reach a temperature of 4 trillion degrees Celsius. You might be wondering how such temperatures don't melt the containers, which is easy to explain. Plasma can be contained with magnets, preventing the extreme heat from touching the inside of the container. There's the huge difference between natural particle collisions and artificial particle collisions, both using different particles under different circumstances. I know what I'm talking about.

Indeed, I don't understand the difference and I'm asking you to enlighten me. So, how are they different? And, as you say "hugely" different?

I think you misunderstood Lazar here I'm afraid. Gravity is a very weak force compared to the forces that hold together an atom and plays no part in stopping '116 fall(ing) apart'.
I don't have a clue what the 'gravity amplifiers and gravity amplifier guides 'used to amplify the gravity A-wave' is all about. He's got me there (scratches head).

Sure, you work at the LHC. I'd like to see some identification or credentials before I believe such a coincidence. You don't seem to know as much as you're supposed to.

That is quite possible. However, it seems unlikely that they would build an operational flying disk with seating only a child could use just to convince him. It simply doesn't add up surely?
