Eka-Plutonium

Unbihexium is not eka-plutonium. Plutonium is above element 144.

Island of Stability

looks like this was accidentally swept up in the VfD of Unbiseptium and Unbipentium. 132.205.45.110 18:39, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Half-Life?

I can't find any verification that this element has a predicted half-life on the order of a million years. If nobody else can find anything, please delete that. Zelmerszoetrop 19:51, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, delete the information about the half-life it is wrong, but not the article. Reply to David Latapie 03:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Fermium article tells us that 255-Fm (half-life 20.07 hours) was found in the debris of H-bomb tests, but there is nothing about Unbihexium or any potential alpha-decay products with atomic number >100 being found then. Fermi himself rebutted speculation that extraterrestrials exist with the simple question "Then where are they?" (source: John L Casti, Paradigms Lost, 1989). The key fact here is: Ubh, Like Extraterrestrial Life, Has Not Been Found, On Earth Or Elsewhere. In this spirit, the Californium article states that this terrestrially well-attested element (898-year half-life for 251-Cf) has been observed in supernova spectra. There is no such claim for Ubh. These facts would make the best half-life estimates for Ubh most optimistically below 900 years and most likely considerably less than 20 hours. Dajwilkinson 02:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name

I will propose a name Kritonium (Kt) after kriton and kryptonite. Cosmium 21:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
