Joe Rogan on ufos: what the evidence says · JRE #1515
SUBJECT: UFOS
Not a true/false call. Every claim is logged with its sources; read the exhibits below.
one of the things he talked about in 1989 was this thing called element 115 that back then was really only theoretical. They didn't even know element 113 or 115 rather was real until 2013. 2013, a particle collider detected it.
What the evidence says 01 / RECORD
Element 115 (now named moscovium) was first synthesized, not merely "detected" by a "particle collider," by a joint Russian-American team at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, led by Yuri Oganessian with collaborators from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The original synthesis experiments, fusing calcium-48 ions with an americium-243 target in a heavy-ion accelerator (a cyclotron-type fusion device, not a collider like the LHC), were conducted starting in 2003-2004, roughly a decade before the 2013 date Rogan cites. Formal international confirmation and naming came later still: IUPAC and IUPAP jointly approved the discovery of elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 in December 2015, with the name moscovium formally adopted in 2016. The lab-made isotopes of moscovium are extremely short-lived, decaying by alpha emission within a fraction of a second, and have no documented properties resembling the stable, room-temperature anti-gravity fuel source Bob Lazar described in 1989. The real existence of a synthetic element numbered 115 does not corroborate the specific properties or extraterrestrial-propulsion use Lazar attributed to it.
