    I thought element 118 was like $60 quadrillion a gram because they only manged to make like 3 atoms of it.

    Edit:

    • 2.05x10^21 atoms in a gram of element 118
    • 5 atoms synthesized so far

    Assuming they somehow managed to spend only $1 making every atom, that’s $2,050,000,000,000,000,000,000 per gram.
