Physics is dead..

these so-called ‘’elements’’,
exist for a fraction of a second

no chemical-molecules are possible
no weighable amount

Scientists think there is an island of stable elements further up the chart. Possibly stable enough to be useful.

“Physics is dead..”

I have no idea what you mean by that.

First, I must point you to “mass v. weight”. You get what that means, I’m sure.

YET...and that’s a BIG YET!

I agree with you, sir (ma’am?). So-called “Chemical-Physicists” are creating short-life “elements” for their own professional purpose and advancement. We should always determine the STABLE life of any thing we want to add to the Table.

Otherwise it is, simply put, designer chemistry.

The length of existence is irrelevant. The definition of an element is the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

no chemical-molecules are possible

An element IS a molecule, one that cannot be further broken down into simpler molecules. These just happen to decay quickly.
