The previous version of this page clearly conflicted with the article on Untriseptium and my knoledge of the topic in regards to the theoretical possibillity of this element existing. The speed of the electrons in the 1s orbital would be traveling at (138*c)/137.036 (sorry, I'm uncomfortable with the built in math), putting the speed of these electrons at just over c, or the speed of light. This is impossible under the current theories of relativity. Please, correct me and revert the page if I am wrong, but explain my mistake on the talk page. --Ben P. 04:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

It still conflicts (or has someone edited Untriseptium since then?). According to the page on untriseptium:

A complete analysis involving relativity reduces the speed of electrons, therefore allowing stable 1s orbits in the element 138 (Uto).

And the Feynman Online page, which mentions that Element 139 is required for ground state electrons to move faster than light once relativity is taken into account. I have reverted the page. Xeriar 16:13, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

The webpage Feynman Online is full of unverified original research, and is not a suitable source for Wikipedia. 209.131.85.201 (talk) 15:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I removed the sentence which stated that this atom's electrons move at the speed of light. That's just false: no matter how relativistic the motion, there is no way it will be exactly equal to c. There's a relevant point to be made, as mentioned in the Untriseptium article, but it needs to be sourced and, well, correct. --Starwed (talk) 20:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
