Investigators at a major research institute have discovered the heaviest element known to science. This startling new discovery has been tentatively named Administratium (Ad).The new element has no protons or electrons, thus having an atomic number of 0. It does, however, have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons, and 111 assistant vice neutrons, for an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force
called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every other reaction with which it comes into contact. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than
a second to take over four days to complete.
Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years. It does not actually decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons, vice neutrons, and assistant vice neutrons exchange places.
In fact, an Administratium sample's mass will actually increase over time, since with each reorganization some of the morons inevitably become neutrons, forming new isotopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to speculate that Administratium is
formed whenever morons reach a certain concentration within the medium. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as the "Critical Morass".
