As a reminder we are playing God here and while extremely unlikely with our current retro-engineering of the universe, nobody can't say for sure what will happen a highest current atomic number + 1.
One might break the current law of physics for an unknown reason and e.g create a wormhole or other universe glitch.
This might be an original explanation of the Great Filter
- LorenPechtel 5y agoNo. I'm not going to worry about atom smashers until they can exceed the energy of the OMG! particle. It was about 40 million times the power of the LHC. As for higher isotopes, once again I'm not going to worry since nothing we can do can compare to the zone on a neutron star that goes from electron degeneracy to neutronium. That will be an insane mess of r-process atomic synthesis, a seething mass of row 7 elements. The r-process should be able to produce row 8 elements unless it hits something for which no attainable isotope undergoes beta decay. Oganesson's only known isotope is 294 which doesn't appear to undergo beta decay but there's no reason to think higher isotopes of it would not.
