i believe the general definition of an element is a material that is a single
atom, and not a mixture or compound, if that made any sense(probably
didn't).

"peers" are everyone who takes the time to review the material and offers
whatever insights it produces.. There are no small "reviews" (as long as
they recognize their every insight is subject to the same comprehensive
scrutiny and peer group)... :)

All I see here is people with open acceptance of new discoveries and the
Unknown.. Met by those that seem to think they have all the answers.
Time is Relative. You can't argue that one, it's science fact. The decay of an atom
can be manipulated in many different ways. These conditions are met naturally in
supernova explosions. Yes, not naturally on Earth.. But in the universe, and under
the right conditions, radioactive nuclei can exist infinitely. So here's a suggestion,
how about a few more open minds, rather than closed ones that seem to think
they have all the answers, trying to prove something to the world.

Particle physics is the study of the basic elements of matter and the
forces acting among them. It aims to determine the fundamental laws that
control the makeup of matter and the physical universe. RAL is one of the
leading laboratories investigating this.
The accelerator is the basic tool of particle physics. It allows us to create
the particle collisions that we want to study in our own laboratories. The
high energy collisions between particles that physicists are interested in
do occur naturally but the events are unpredictable and the number that
can be observed(in cosmic rays) is low.
Accelerators work by accelerating charged particles using electric fields.
A linear accelerator accelerates particles in a straight line: the biggest
linear machine, in Stanford, California, is two miles long. Circular machines
are more common. As well as accelerating the particles using an electric
field, circular accelerators bend their p aths using a magnetic field. In a
machine like LEP at CERN, where they have opposite charges, the
particles being accelerated travel in opposite directions until they are
forced to collide. The drawback is that the faster a particle travels, the
harder it is to keep it moving in a circlebut, in the largest circles (LEP is the
largest in the world with a circumference of 27km) less energy is wasted
when accelerating particles to high speeds.
