I think there are about 20 synthetic elements in the periodic table- if im not mistaken..

Tipp,
There's a plethora of scientists, chemical engineers, research chemists, physicists etc, on this Forum but they simply may not as yet be excited with this discovery as you are. Additionally, most do not like advertising their educational backgrounds or their areas of expertise since doing so inevitably leads to a bashing and accusations of snobbery.
