Nearby asteroid may contain elements 'beyond the periodic table', new study suggests

I read a similar article recently and it offered nothing to suggest how these 'beyond the periodic table' elements can be stable enough to survive longer than a few seconds. Every element beyond uranium is radioactive and highly unstable. Some of these elements live for mere fractions of a second and would not be sustained without constant bombardment by other nuclei or neutrons. For that reason alone I call this study bunk and probably based on erroneous measurements and stretched truth. It's just not at all likely and their density measurements/assumptions are just plain wrong.

There is a conjectured "plateau of stability" beyond uranium where elements would become stable enough to form in a real world setting and last more than seconds or minutes. I'm not saying these asteroids contain them, nor am I saying that the plateau necessarily exists, but it is a possibility.

If they are stable on an asteroid hurtling through space, couldn’t you keep them in a vacuum, liquid nitrogen and depressurized to slow the degradation process?

In all of this OMG I LOVE SCIENCE shit, I see the same level of bullshit fluffing and shilling foisted in shitcoin whitepapers. It's sheisty shit. How about they just shut the fuck up, and don't speak until they bring receipts.
