The previous version of this page clearly conflicted with the article on Untriseptium and my knoledge of the topic in regards to the theoretical possibillity of this element existing. The speed of the electrons in the 1s orbital would be traveling at (138*c)/137.036 (sorry, I'm uncomfortable with the built in math), putting the speed of these electrons at just over c, or the speed of light. This is impossible under the current theories of relativity. Please, correct me and revert the page if I am wrong, but explain my mistake on the talk page. -- Ben P. 04:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
I removed the sentence which stated that this atom's electrons move at the speed of light. That's just false: no matter how relativistic the motion, there is no way it will be exactly equal to c. There's a relevant point to be made, as mentioned in the Untriseptium article, but it needs to be sourced and, well, correct. -- Starwed ( talk) 20:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
