Surface usually covered in painted film\n   2. Boils at nothing; freezes w/o known reason\n   3. Melts if given special treatment\n   4. Bitter if incorrectly used\n   5. Found in various states from virgin metal to common ore\n   6. Yields if pressure applied in correct places\nCHEMICAL PROPERTIES:\n   1. Has great affinity for gold, silver, and a range of precious stones\n   2. Absorbs great quantities of expensive substances\n   3. May explode spontaneously w/o prior warning and for no apparent reason\n   4. Insoluble in liquids, but actively increases greatly in saturation of alcohol\n   5. Most powerful money reducing agent known to man\nCOMMON USES:\n   1. Highly ornamental, especially in sports cars\n   2. Can be a great aid to relaxation\n   3. Very effective cleaning agent\nTESTS:\n   1. Pure specimen turns rosy pink when discovered in the natural state\n   2. Turns green when placed beside a better specimen\nHAZARDS:\n   1. Highly dangerous except in experienced hands\n   2. Illegal to possess more than one, although several can be maintained at different \n      locations as long as specimens do not come into direct contact with each other

i do not know about an element but u do get dyes which will emit in the wavelengths u mentioned if excited by UV.

No.  Firstly, no elements are "made" on earth apart from synthetic ones.  All elemental fusion takes place in stars\n\nSecondly, only the elements up to iron are capable of being formed inside a star.  Energetically, it's the wall.  Anything with a higher atomic number than iron can only be formed under the action of a supernova explosion.  Supernovae then seed the interstellar dust with these heavier elements, which eventually coalesce under the effects of gravity to form new stars, and, presumably, planetary systems.  Given the number of new extrasolar planets found recently, this seems to be a relatively common phenomenon.\n\nSo, all the gold on Earth was formed in a supernova explosion, and when the dust particles that condensed out of that explosion gathered together to form the Earth, a small amount of gold was present.  That's where it all came from!\n\nAs Carl Sagan was fond of saying, "We are all star-stuff."

No i haven't seen it if you figure out what it is let me know! :)

I've not heard of this.\n\nI would think it would be BIG NEWS.

No, I hadn't heard that. Please post a credible news link.

I don't know the answer but, did you hear the one about the two neutrons? One said to the other, I've changed! The other said are you sure? The first said I'M Positive!  ha ha\n         Thats weird gilbert

Apparently not, but I have heard of it.

Check out news.yahoo.com and click on the science tab.  It should give you some good info.  Here's just a few quick happenings this month, though there are tons more out there too.\n\nDecision to launch NASA's spaceshuttle Discovery on July 1\n\nA new study reveals that some monkeys wait out cloudy days and go fruit picking when the sun shines.\n\nResearchers found fossils of a new species of water bird from 100 million years ago in China\n\nPictures were taken of an animal believed to be extinct for 11 million years\n\nThe EU decided to provide more money for stem cell research\n\nA new technique has been developed to create genetically modified chickens

I dunno, have u discoverd that?

At the bottom of the perodic table...\n\nThey are technetium (at. no. 43), which was the first element to be synthesized, promethium (at. no. 61), astatine (at. no. 85), francium (at. no. 87), and the transuranium elements (at. no. 93 and beyond in the periodic table). Some of these elements have since been shown to exist in minute amounts in nature, usually as short-lived members of natural radioactive decay series (see radioactivity).\n\nThe synthetic elements through at. no. 100 (fermium) are created by bombarding a heavy element, such as uranium or plutonium, with neutrons or alpha particles. The synthesis of the transfermium elements (elements with at. no. 101 or greater) is accomplished by the fusion of the nuclei of two lighter elements. Elements 101 through 106 were first produced by fusing the nuclei of slightly lighter elements, such as californium, with those of light elements, such as carbon. Elements 107 through 112 were first produced by fusing the nuclei of medium-weight elements, such as bismuth or lead, with those of other medium-weight elements, such as iron, nickel, or zinc. Element 114 was first produced by fusing the nuclei of plutonium and calcium and subsequently by fusing the nuclei of lead and krypton, as was element 116. Element 115 was produced by bombarding americium with calcium, and element 113 resulted from the radioactive decay of element 115. The claim by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to have created element 118 has been retracted.)\n\nThe transfermium elements are produced in very small quantities (one atom at a time), and identification is therefore very difficult because of half-lives ranging from minutes to milliseconds and the need to identify the products by methods other than known chemical separations. This has led to controversy over reported discoveries and over the naming of the elements. It has been predicted that one isotope of element 114—containing 114 protons and 184 neutrons—would be very stable because its nucleus would have a full complement of protons and neutrons. Termed an “island of stability,” its half-life might be measured in years. However, none of the three isotopes of element 114 synthesized as yet have as many as 184 neutrons, and their half-lives are still in the millisecond range.

I think that many signs indicate a brave new world just ahead for humanity.  I am seeing an increase in tolerance and acceptance with the internet providing ways for citizens of different cultures to connect one-on-one, combined with what I believe is an increase in spirit and psychic sensitivity (particularly in this next generation of kids) that is very often coupled with compromised health caused by environmental pollutants (like aluminum, mercury, etc.).\n\nWe are on the brink of an evolutionary change now - largely self created, as more and more people are suffering ill-effects from our own environmental toxins, but they are getting a trade off of heightened awareness, due to the extra heavy metals and such trapped in their system, perhaps.  It's an amazing time to be alive.\n\nPeace!\n\nPS - oh yes, I think our life spans are still expanding since the kids in the high school year books continue to look younger and younger than the generation before it.
