> Scientists Discover New Element > > The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered > by physicists at Yale. The element, tentatively named Administratium, > has no protons or electrons, and thus has an atomic number of 0. > However, it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 > vice-neutrons, and 11 assistant vice-neutrons. This gives it an > atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together in a > nucleus by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson- > like particles called morons. > > Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, > it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it > comes in contact with. According to the discoverers, a minute > amount of Administratium caused a reaction to take over four > days to complete, when it would normally occur in less than > one second. > > Administratium has a normal life of approximately three years, > at which time it does not actually decay but, instead, undergoes > a reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice-neutrons, and > assistant vice-neutrons exchange places. Some studies have shown > that the atomic weight usually increases after each reorganization. > > Research at other laboratories indicate that Administratium > occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to congregate at 20 > certain points such as government agencies, large corporations, > and universities. It can actually be found in the newest, best > maintained buildings. > > Scientists point out that Administratium is known to be toxic > at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive > reactions, where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being > made to determine how Administratium can be controlled to prevent > irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising.
