“In fact, you need 223 grams machined into a wedge like this. The program out at S-4 consisted of three projects, Project Galileo, Project Sidekick, and Projec…”
Lazar states 223 grams of element 115 were needed as reactor fuel and names three specific project codenames (Galileo, Sidekick, Looking Glass) run out of S-4.
“there's different isotopes of every element. And element 115, just like any other element, there can be a stable version of it and a hundred or 50 different un…”
Lazar claims element 115 (moscovium) can exist in a stable isotope form alongside many unstable isotopes.
“So Element 115 was not even really discussed back when you were doing this. It wasn't even discovered or proven physically until it was a large Hadron Collide…”
Rogan asserts element 115 was first proven to exist via a Large Hadron Collider experiment in the 2000s.
“2004, Dermstadt, Germany, I think is where they first fabricated four atoms. It lasted 220 milliseconds. The atoms, it's nothing, right?”
Lazar claims element 115 (moscovium) was first artificially fabricated in 2004 in Darmstadt, Germany, producing four atoms that lasted 220 milliseconds.
“Element 115, the fuel they had, was stable. In other words, it didn't decay, it wasn't emitting radioactivity”
Lazar claims the element 115 he worked with at S4 was a stable, non-radioactive isotope used as an anti-gravity fuel source.
