Bill D I'm sure you could have got "my Ding-a-ling" in there somewhere - It is now traditional - almost.

Because we sing, please pull the string!"

This, I believe, ties in with String Theory. All of the neutrons are trying to pull the strings of all the other neutrons. Barring statistical anomolies, they cancel each other out and the net result is total inertia.

I'm sure this somehow relates to Chaos Theory, but I'm still working that out.

Governmentium is also unusual in that only two forces seem to be at play in its structure -- the "weak force" and gravity.

Strange quarks and charm are both antipathetic to governmentium; however, governmentium's excessive density means that when those particles come within weak-force fields of governmentium the strange quarks and charm particles are sucked in and converted into morons.

ROTFLMAO

I know what he sediment, but not what the element.

so what is it's density? Dare we mwention confusion ? WIMPs?
strange quarks?

old thread from 2001 with same title:

New element discovered

Only difference: Last time we read about it it was called administratium.

I actually was looking forward to a scientific discussion about a new element! That was funny though Michael.

Thank you. I knew there had to be a retional explanation for it all.

Looks like a parody on a Les Barker poem the name of which temporarily escapes me.

Latest discovery...

A major independent research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to science. The new element has been tentatively named "Governmentium." Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 11 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since governmentium 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 governmentium causes one reaction to take over 4 days to complete when it would normally take less than a second. Governmentium 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 exchange places. In fact, governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause some morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass".


(This was forwarded to me via e-mail. No idea where it comes from.)
