Is element 115 a real thing in nature? What if any properties of element 115 would allow it to be used in antigravity propulsion as Bob Lazar Claims?
We can be pretty confident it doesn't exist in nature for a prolonged amount of time:
QuoteMoscovium is an extremely radioactive element: its most stable known isotope, moscovium-290, has a half-life of only 0.65 seconds.[10]
The half-life time indicates how long it takes for (statistically) half the amount of material to have decayed into other things. We know that radioactive decay goes as N(t) = N0 * e**(-(ln(2)/T) * t) where N is the number of nuclei, N0 the number you start with, T is the half-life time and t is the time in seconds that have passed. Since the number of particles is proportional to the mass we can just replace N with the mass for sake of this argument. This means that for any notable amount of Moscovium, after 0.65 seconds half of it will have decayed into something else. 0.65 later another half. After just 5 seconds there is only 0.5% of the original amount left. If you plug in the entire mass of the earth of Moscovium into this equation and calculat what is left after 60 seconds you get
5.9e27 gram * e**(-(ln(2)/0.65 s) * (60 s)) = 0.96 gram
It would take 1 minute for just a gram to be left.
