Oxford University researchers have discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.  The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.  However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.  A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.  It does not decay, but instead undergoes a nucleic reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.  When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that absorbs just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

Are you referring to the scientists?

 

Is this the discovery that things (dunno what things, but things) can travel faster than light?

i heard that today-summat about einstein got it wrong m=mc...blah

i dont have a clue what im on about do i?

The scientists sent a beam of a type of neutrino called muon neutrinos which travelled to 200 miles away. They wanted to see how many of them changed into a different type of neutrino called tau neutrinos. The neutrinos arrived a tiny bit faster than expected which is why the scientists are puzzled.

 

Some scientists think that there are more dimensions than the ones we all know about and think that the neutrinos could have effectively taken a short cut by going through a different dimension rather then the neutrinos going faster than the speed of light.
