  1. Table of elements based on each additional proton in nucleus creates a heavier element from 1 proton hydrogen all the way to Uranium at 92 protons. Number of protons at the center of a nucleus of an atom is called the atomic number. Very important because that proton determines how the element chemically behaves. You can predict a new element by just adding another proton. So 115 means that's how many protons. That's the beauty of the table of elements Mendeleev invented, is that you can use it to predict elements by just adding protons knowing that's what distinguishes one element to another. And more sophisticated methods later on can somewhat help determine how many neutrons may cluster with the proton at the nucleus. As elements increase more neutrons than protons occur. Due to the weak force neutrons and protons can fall away (nuclear decay) and either just lose a neutron keeping same amount of protons sometimes becoming a stable form of that element, or lose a proton going down an element or even splitting going way down in protons to two liter elements. "Based on other elements in the same group he predicted the existence of eka-aluminum, eka-boron, and eka-silicon, later to be named gallium (Ga), scandium (Sc), and germanium (Ge). Mendeleev predicted the atomic mass of each element along with compounds they each should form." I can predict an element 120 will exist. The highest so far created (because they're all unstable and decompose usually within a fraction of second). And that's the other part, not only did he just add a proton which anyone who understand the table of elements can do, and understands we can artificially create these higher elements by neutron and/or proton bombardment that eventually causes an extra proton to develop. Lazar said the element 115 would be stable; that it wouldn't decay; not be radioactive. Element 115 has been created, and it decayed within microseconds, it's as unstable as all the other elements above uranium. In fact so far no element above uranium appears to be stable, and most do not occur naturally in our solar system as elements if they do form by the normal methods of a collapsing star, only last for as little as years to only a few million years. Our solar system is 4.5 billion years old. So that doesn't provide any evidence Lazar's story. Any school kid who's educated on the period table of elements can come up with any element. Element 120 or 140... at some point we'll create it. That's no prediction. It's like saying we can have a 20 cylinder car. And someone builds it. There is no prediction value. And worse, he did make a prediction the element 115 would be stable. It isn't. So it's evidence he is bull shitting. It's not positive evidence either way.
