How do you know he didn’t invent the thing?

The grid is labled on this chart from HRIBF.

I zoomed in on the PDF image. It begins with Hydrogen and ends with Cerium, ....

. .....but where's the Gold?

Heavy aluminum. Why?

Lots of reasons.

The chart is, as you noticed, not complete in the pdf-file. Cerium has 58 protons and Gold has 79. They have no space for the gold bars as they are in the Fort Knox Bullion Depository. ;-)

Note: this topic is from October 2007.
The findings could help astrophysicists understand occasional X-ray emissions from neutron stars that are growing in mass.
While revisiting, realized it could be an X-Planets topic because of the above snip.

According to Baumann, most theories had predicted that aluminum-42 wouldn't exist.

I love it when scientists' theories get smashed!
