zoltar_says
Many people win gold at the olympics and most of them are forgotten. Elements will be used, studied, and talked about forever
Scott
But no one will know who discovered it or talk about the person that discovered it
Eli C
so? you could name if after yourself!
emdyey
Agree! If anyone discovered an element today, given the rarity of the feat, he'd become an instant rockstar (especially in the eyes of chem academics; but also pretty much everyone who has to deal with chemistry). Also, as zoltar_said, his name would be immortalized in books, and (in essence) the freakin' periodic table. No one talks about who won that men's 100m sprint 47 years ago anyway. Not when Usain Bolt has made it his own fucking event in the past 8 years. Olympic records are made to be broken, and a gold medal's significance goes with it. Exception: win the first gold medal for your country. I'm from the Philippines, and I imagine they'll treat a gold medalist like a damn national hero (somewhere along the Pacquiao level). That is until another Filipino gets a gold.

if you put a name to a NEW element kids will hate you for giving them more things to study .-.

You could name the element after your self, some elements are named after people who helped create the periodic table of elements
Okmrbob
Scott guess who named Einsteinium
Mastortrole Skb
Kids would hate me for giving them more thingsto learn? Sweet.

Probably Americans.

If anyone "discovered" a new element these days (new elements are not discovered anymore, they are fabricated), it would be an extremely unstable, heavy element, not occurring in nature, existing only for nanoseconds. It would neither be used nor studied. Go read up on the Periodic Table! It's on WikiPedia.
Ashley
Honestly who cares about knowing the periodic table? Well besides my science teacher.........
Franklin Chen
Franktonium... yes
Franklin Chen
@Lorenza fuck future kids
Josue Gutierrez
i can only name a handful of people who have won gold medals and tons go on being a regular person after unless your phelps or von
Bruno Pedron
That's true. Einsteinium, Rutherfordium and Bohrium were names after great physicists.
YvesH93

I never talk about elements with my friends, I never talk about elements with anyone actually
Apost1997
Well you can name the element(it would be the heaviest element by far) : Yo Mamma
Alex Sandro Katamadze
YoMama and SoFat. (it didn't said only 1)
Micah Philson
Actually, we still talk about every person to discover elements. Especially Seaborg: He discovered over 10! Olympic medalists are forgotten unless they earn them like Michael Phelps, who will be forgotten in less than 50 years except during olympics time. Even less than that if someone else gets more medals.
Taylor180
When you discover an element, you can name it whatever you want, including after yourself, I'd rather be famous for millenia to a minority of Science majors than for one lifetime to one nation
Jack O'Lantern
Well thats easy. Kryptonite.

Awesome_Gamer
I'm pretty sure that winning a gold medal at the Olympics will be easier than naming a new periodic table element. Both are hard though :(
