I
already shared this on Facebook to my friends, but it bears repeating:
Egads, this is brilliant...I envision kids books, cartoons, cards, and
games...the way I've seen young ones obsess over Pokemon, Beyblades,
Skylanders, and other "COLLECT THEM ALL" characters with stats to
memorize and specific abilities and backstories...if you turned the
elements into those things...we'd suddenly have a generation of chemists
and physicists on our hands...whoa. Seriously.
I
hate to add this but if it is for teaching purposes then there is a
small correction that must be made. Meitnerium (element 109) is listed
as having been named after Lise Meitner (which is correct) however her
work put Einstein's equation (e=m*c*c) into context of the observations
being made by Otto Hahn (the guy who ended up screwing her over for the
Noble Prize) tying the energy output and the loss of matter measured
when Strassman and Hahn performed their neutron -> uranium
bombardment experiments and found barium and krypton left behind to
nuclear fission (breakdown of nuclear components into smaller parts) and
not nuclear fusion (the enlargement of a nucleus).
tl&dr Meitner discovered nuclear fission, not nuclear fusion.
