You know, this makes so much damn sense it’s amazing that no one thought of doing this before.
If we think (as many do) that the actinides and above become stable near or around element 120, then instead of sweating buckets trying to make them, why not go and look and see if there are traces of those stable elements out there?
Et Voila!
We find them.
Simple ideas, eh?

I’d hold off on calling this settled. The paper’s not even been peer-reviewed yet, let alone published.
