So-called “Chemical-Physicists” are creating short-life “elements” for their own professional purpose and advancement.

Perhaps, but they are successfully filling out the periodic table, which is organized by atomic number.

These elements aren't stable, but we didn't know that until someone created them, and observed them to decay quickly.

Perhaps they will find an element with a higher atomic number that IS stable, and has a useful property.

Which will be acceptable to the consensus of scientists?

Nahhh..everything from here-on-out is “designer chemistry” driven by physicists who think they can drive the world of chemistry.

Sorry, me and my Chemistry degree find that, although mathematically possible to infinitely derive short-life isotopes/elements, we (science) have determined every ^useful^ element ending at Americium. Everything else is just...well...designer chemistry.

Chemistry is and should be...useful.
