VIDEO: Could Asteroid Polyhymnia Contain Super-Heavy Elements?

In the video below, Anton Petrov discusses a paper suggesting that certain strange observations of various asteroids and comets, including the asteroid Polyhymnia, could be explained if they contained super-heavy elements. As you know, the heaviest elements on the periodic table are the radioactive elements which are unstable (hence the radioactivity) with many of the more recently manufactured elements so unstable that they break down in a matter of microseconds. But it is theorized that there is an island of stability once you reach certain atomic weights. That is what some scientists propose may be hiding in certain asteroids and comets.
