I feel like the fact they paid the same party that investigated them is an obvious enough conflict of interest to dismiss this out of hand. Whether the report is actually trustworthy or not, there is an incentive to come to a conclusion that aligns with whomever paid them and that alone should make people question the conclusions being made.

Probably bitter and followed by a slow agonizing death by liver failure.

Did you not read the title at least? How does firing all these people indicate they know what theyre doing?

What should happen is not always what does happen. There are tons of examples of brain dead companies and rich people buying companies they dont understand and then ruining them because of that.

Realistically none aside from testing that our models are good.

Best case scenario the particle accelerators we use to make them take months, years just to produce a couple atoms that last maybe a few seconds then decay to something much less stable

The island of stability isn't going to result in anything most people would consider "stable" i.e no Naquadah or Trinium. It could however, result in new superheavy isotopes that last seconds instead of milliseconds or microseconds like what would otherwise be expected.

The island of (relative) stability results from the filling of nuclear shells similarly to how noble gases are as unreactive as they are in chemical reactions because their (electron) shells are full.

High voltage: "WHERE'S THAT FUCKING WIRE!? ... NEVERMIND I MADE A NEW ONE"

I feel like this would be funny if the text in the top left corner just wasnt there. Like the shrimp just randomly transforms into an arch user for no reason

If you thought it was, you need to ask yourself why you are here because Lemmy and Reddit are both forms of social media.

When I was a kid, we had a patch of it in the back yard and mom would make desserts out of it. Or wed just eat it raw.
