Some interpretations of quantum mechanics indicate that our universe It’s also possible that Star Wars occurs in a parallel universe. It would be in the metal range of the periodic table, so it is unlikely to be tibanna gas, but who knows? Maybe it will be baradium. This means that the not-yet-discovered element 126 could turn out to be very stable. Although additional numbers have been proposed, the accepted magic numbers are 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, and 126. Just as there are a certain number of electrons in a shell, which leads to a less reactive element (because the electrons have “filled” a shell), there are magic numbers of protons or neutrons that cause a nucleus to be extraordinarily stable. Just as electrons have shells that they can occupy while they orbit the nucleus, there are energy shells for the protons and neutrons inside the nucleus. Seaborg’s idea relates to a concept in nuclear physics known as magic numbers. In the 1960s Glenn Seaborg proposed an “island of stability” in larger nuclei, which could give new life to the undiscovered elements theory. Still, the idea isn’t completely impossible. So, tibanna would likely have a very small half-life and thus wouldn’t stick around long enough for anyone to mine it (like For instance, one element much larger than uranium has a half-life of about 0.7 milliseconds.
As you go up in number on the periodic table, atoms have significantly shorter half-lives.
Uranium (element 92 on the periodic table) is the largest element not discovered through laboratory synthesis and it has a half-life of sixty-nine to four and a half billion years (a half-life is how long it takes for half of a substance to decay it can be a range of values depending on how the subatomic particles of the element are arranged). Unstable atoms with larger atomic numbers tend to decay more rapidly. Some elements have unstable arrangements of subatomic particles, which leads to loss of such particles in a process called radioactive decay (which results in less of the element in its original form existing). To explain why, we need to discuss radioactive decay. The idea that tibanna and company are actually just heavy elements (i.e., elements with larger atomic numbers) that have yet to be discovered is unlikely.
