"feynmanium" meaning in English

See feynmanium in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Feynman + -ium. Named after Richard Feynman, who used a back-of-the-envelope calculation using classical physics to determine that element 137 is the last stably neutrally charged element, as larger elements would need electrons traveling faster than light to become neutral. (This problem goes away when relativity is considered.) Etymology templates: {{suffix|en|Feynman|ium}} Feynman + -ium Head templates: {{en-noun|-}} feynmanium (uncountable)
  1. The hypothetical chemical element with atomic number 137. Wikipedia link: Richard Feynman Tags: uncountable Categories (topical): Hypothetical chemical elements, Quantum mechanics, Relativity Synonyms (element 137): Fy [symbol], untriseptium (english: systematic element name), Uts [symbol]
