almost reminds me of this experiment:



you know about the periodic table where it has elements from 104 - 118?



elements like that are made in a particle accelerator, where one atom is smashed in really high speed (at least 10% the speed of light) to another one in a target



for example,



element 118 (Oganesson, named after Yuri Oganessian, who was a quite famous scientists who was one of the guys who made this elelment) was made by taking element 98 (Californium) then smashing it to atoms of calcium (element 20) to make element 118



incredible indeed
