AITA for assuming my daughter could have a 3rd plate

Why is this cool?? Because it’s one step closer to making a new element - unbinilium - which would be the heaviest element ever synthesized. What’s cool? Scientist at Berkeley found a new way to make Livermorium (an element with 116 protons! So, just 4 protons away from Unbinilium) by putting titanium-50 in a cyclotron for 22 days and smashing it into another atom. And with all that energy, they only got out two atoms of Livermorium. 😅 Yes, this was tweeted by Dianna! futureleap.org/2024/08/modern…




Looking forward to seeing how you spin this one, @NewYorker…
