Are There An Infinite Number Of Elements?
There are currently 118 elements in the periodic table, but could there be more? In the first Polyhedral video, we discuss the physics and chemistry behind the question "Could there be an infinite number of elements?". We'll chat a bit about the history of the science, including what Richard Feynmann predicted the limit might be. Beyond that, we'll explore the periodic table of elements and chat about up-down quark matter, a potential theoretical concept for heavy matter.
