Element 115 One Step Closer To Being Official

Scientists are one step closer to inducting Element 115 into the official Periodic Table of Elements. The element, which is currently being called Ununpentium, was first discovered 10 years ago by scientist in Dubna, Russia. Since then, the super heavy element has been studied by scientist in German and now according to news sources, it is officially being confirmed as an element. So here's the crazy part: Most people outside of the science community know about this element because of the role that it plays in the Call of Duty video game series. In the series, Ununpentium plays a major role in the Zombie mode gameplay. According to the games storyline, the element was first found by the Germans during WW1 and had been the subject of conspiracy theories which include Nazis. What many people don't know, is that the storyline was inspired by actual conspiracy theories. These conspiracy theories mostly revolved around Bob Lazar, a man who claimed to have worked in both Los Alamos and Area 51. Technically Lazar claimed he worked at S-4, a base close to Area 51, where he studied extraterrestrial craft. Lazar first made these claims to journalist George Knapp in 1989. In that interview, Lazar would also go on to claim that the alien craft was using a new element dubbed Element 115 as an energy source. He claimed that this element could produce anti-gravity effects under proton bombardment. Even stranger, Lazar claimed that the element could also distort time and space making distances shorter. This was 14 years before scientist in Russia first discovered the element. It also bears noting that governments around the world have much more advanced technologies than their respective civillians know. Here in the U.S., the government is said to be 20 years ahead in technology than what is available to the general public. You can take a look at the invisibility cloak and exo-skeletons being developed by the U.S. military to get some perspective. What also makes Lazar's claims a possibility is the fact that the U.S. is still very much in an arms race with Russia. It is very likely that the U.S. could have found this new element long ago and kept it secret to beat out hostile countries to new technologies. This does mean that his original claim of the element could be reasonably true, even if his other claims seem outrageous. Lazar has also claimed that the government showed him and other Area 51 employees a video detailing the history of aliens and their contact with Earth. He also makes claims that the greys, or Zeta Reticulans, are very real. Only time will tell how much truth are in these claims.
