Space/Science » in reply to New element 118 created in lab by smashing together Calcium and Californium

When I took college chemistry, 20 years ago,...

....I couldn't help but peer down the periodic table and
to portions not yet filled out with transuranium elements
and I noticed that the 118 spot was eventually going to be filled
with an artificial element that had to belong th the inert gas family, like Argon or Radon.
What did I propose calling that element?
Out of wishful thinking, I proposed to myself that it be called Samoradon
[wink!}

I was so much younger then.
