HEAVIEST KNOWN ELEMENT
A major research institution has recently discovered the heaviest
element
known to science. This discovery has been tentatively named
Administratium.
It has no protons or electrons, thus having an atomic number
of 0. It does
however, have 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy
neutrons, and 111
assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312
particles are held together by a force called morons, which are
surrounded
by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Administratium 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 Administratium causes one reaction to take over 4 days
to
complete when it would normally take less than a second. Administratium
has
a normal half-life of 3 years; it does not decay but instead undergoes
a
reorganization, in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and
deputy
neutrons and assistant deputy neutrons exchange places. In
fact,
Administratium's mass will actually increase over time, since
each
reorganization causes some morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to
speculate
that Administratium is formed whenever morons reach a certain
quantity in
concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as
"Critical
Morass." You will know it when you see it.
