Renamed Element - Copernicium

[Earthling]

There's a hidden demon awaiting us in this name though, just wait and see - I bet eventually people will be confused whether it's pronounced "Copernisium" or "Copernikium"

 

[cardgame]

lol, now all the element charts they're still going to be using next year will be out of date.

Just watch I bet my school doesn't get new ones.

 

[Perfection]

Perhaps I should have rephrased that, No biologist is ever going to get an element named after them.

Why not? Hell, you don't even need to be a scientist for you name to become a chemical element!

 

[Bluemofia]

Well, most of those (at the moment) are just novel elements anyways. At the moment, they have half lives of shorter than a second, so you can't do much with them. However, due to the fact that their half lives seem to be getting a bit longer than what you flat out expect from increased mass alone, it hints at the concept of an "island of stability" or something, and those might have potential uses. Even if that stability is low, and there are no physical uses, the properties might allow us to further understand other elements better with a larger sample size of properties.

Elerium 115 - I won't recognize any other name!

 

[dido]

Yeah come to think of it, we do not have an element named after God.

Why do we not have a God element?

HE MADE ALL THE ELEMENTS

OUT OF CLAY

We have Thorium

Don't forget that all the elements named for planets are also named for Roman gods.

Dude, Darwin proved there is no God.

Darwin is dead....

[Eran of Arcadia]

I still think the original name for 111 (unununium, Uuu) is better than Roentgenium. No offense, Röntgen, you should have gotten a different one.

 

[Perfection]

Darwin is dead....

So what?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Or flyingspaghettimonstium.

That's too long to write out - just use "raviolium."

Actually, if scientists are being considered, Sagan and Hawking should be honored with elements named after them.

And what about the Star Trek elements dilithium and neutronium?

 

[Gelion]

So what?

So there's no Darwin.

Why? On scientific merit there would be huge amount of scientist equally deserving it.

 

[Seon]

Darwin is dead....

Dude, Corpernicus is dead.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

And what about the Star Trek elements dilithium and neutronium?

I'm pretty sure Neutronium would have to refer to matter consisting of only Neutrons, not atoms. That wouldn't count as an element.

Wouldn't dilithium just be lithium in a diatomic molecular form?

 

[azzaman333]

Needs more Moronium.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Why? On scientific merit there would be huge amount of scientist equally deserving it.

Why not? They've both made tremendous contributions toward scientific understanding of how the universe works.

I offered the Star Trek elements as joke nominations. They have at least as much merit as most of the nominations posted here.
