Some science is provided for by taxes. Not all. Science for science’s sake is generally tax funded, product oriented science is not. At this point the periodic table is “pure” science and mostly government, but if they actually get a tickle of something it’ll probably be taken to the next step by a corporation.

That’s just a placeholder name until an official name could be decided.

Fresh Wind: "What about “Obamaium”?"

Well, that's a start.
What we know is that these increasingly heavier elements are increasingly unstable, short-lived & dangerous to humans.
So they obviously should be named:

Isn't that obvious to everyone?
So we'd need to start a petition, probably a constitutional amendment...
