That was the answer I was looking for, except that my command of chemistry wasn't good enough to frame the question well. | |

| Feb 9, 2018 at 11:23 | comment | added | David Richerby | Why would scientists concentrate on finding the next one? If everybody tries to find the same thing, there'll be a lot of wasted effort. | |
| Feb 9, 2018 at 11:22 | comment | added | David Richerby | @Zhe Because, in the olden days, new elements were "discovered" in the sense of being found, in whatever order they were found in. But, today, new elements aren't discovered but created, which implies that the scientist chooses which element they're going to create. | |

| Feb 9, 2018 at 2:52 | comment | added | Zhe | Elements weren't discovered in order before 1950. Why would you expect that they would be afterwards? | |
