New
Element Has Been Discovered
A major research
institution has recently announced the discovery of
the heaviest element yet known to science. This new element has
been tentatively named "Administratium."
Administratium has
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 normally takes less than 1 second.
Administratium has
a normal half-life of 3 years; it does not decay but instead, it undergoes
a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons, deputy
neutrons, and assistant deputy neutrons, exchange places. In fact
Administratium's mass will actually increase over time since each
re-organization 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 referenced to as "Critical
Morass."
You will know it
when you see it.
