300 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,290 NARRATOR: Some physicists believe that if they can produce 301 00:15:43,470 --> 00:15:46,350 a stable form of this newly synthesized element, 302 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,320 it has the potential to facilitate the greatest 303 00:15:49,410 --> 00:15:54,000 technological leap in human history. 304 00:15:54,090 --> 00:15:55,800 Most of these elements, beyond uranium, 305 00:15:55,890 --> 00:15:58,230 only exist for a fraction of a second. 306 00:15:58,410 --> 00:16:00,120 They’re there, and then they’re gone again. 307 00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:03,450 But we physicists think 308 00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:07,050 that we can make use of it to create nuclear energy 309 00:16:07,140 --> 00:16:10,740 on a much more efficient scale than plutonium... 310 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,150 and that variations of it could be stable, 311 00:16:15,330 --> 00:16:19,290 and might eventually provide fuel for a starship. 312 00:16:19,470 --> 00:16:24,690 This technology can absolutely, instantaneously alter our world 313 00:16:24,780 --> 00:16:26,760 beyond our wildest imagination. 314 00:16:26,940 --> 00:16:29,100 And it could do so so rapidly 315 00:16:29,190 --> 00:16:33,330 that it would be a shock to the human consciousness. 316 00:16:33,420 --> 00:16:38,280 So, the idea is to study these technologies 317 00:16:38,370 --> 00:16:41,700 and try to get parts of it that will benefit humanity. 318 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,820 NARRATOR: Mainstream scientists believe stabilizing enough Moscovium 319 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,890 to power an intergalactic spacecraft 320 00:16:50,070 --> 00:16:52,230 is still decades away. 321 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,460 But the question remains: could this Element 115 322 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,600 be the same Element 115 that Bob Lazar claims was recovered 323 00:17:00,690 --> 00:17:02,580 by the U.S. military? 324 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,710 It has always been theorized that Element 115 itself 325 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,590 does exist, but we hadn’t physically made it ourselves 326 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,300 until 2003. 327 00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:16,890 However, the Element 115 that Bob Lazar had his hands on, 328 00:17:17,070 --> 00:17:20,220 that had a different isotopic ratio 329 00:17:20,310 --> 00:17:22,290 that allowed it to be stabilized. 330 00:17:25,170 --> 00:17:28,140 NARRATOR: While scientists suggest that it may be possible 331 00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:30,480 to create a stable version of Moscovium, 332 00:17:30,660 --> 00:17:33,900 there are some who believe this newly synthesized element 333 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:35,880 is simply a decoy. 334 00:17:35,970 --> 00:17:39,930 Could it be that some secret government agency arranged 335 00:17:40,110 --> 00:17:42,810 for the introduction of this highly unstable element 336 00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:45,780 in order to convince the public 337 00:17:45,870 --> 00:17:47,760 that the Element 115 338 00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:52,530 Bob Lazar described... does not exist? 339 00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:55,860 Whenever somebody makes a bizarre claim 340 00:17:55,950 --> 00:18:00,270 that’s written off for science fiction, like Element 115 was, 341 00:18:00,450 --> 00:18:04,950 and then, years later, the science catches up, 342 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,200 and it’s, "Oh, yeah, he was right. 343 00:18:07,290 --> 00:18:10,530 There is an Element 115, and we’ve just manufactured some." 344 00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:15,390 Well, it’s the idea that this is disinformation. 345 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,630 And they’ll be saying it’s one of these heavy elements 346 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,230 that’s only stable for a very short period of time. 347 00:18:22,410 --> 00:18:25,200 That simply can’t be the real fuel 348 00:18:25,380 --> 00:18:29,250 by which interstellar travel was made possible. 349 00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:30,690 He’s making it up. 350 00:18:30,780 --> 00:18:33,210 Therefore, he’s not divulging anything classified. 351 00:18:33,390 --> 00:18:37,890 But when this announcement was first made, 352 00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:39,780 some people said, "Wait a minute. 353 00:18:39,870 --> 00:18:44,370 "If Bob Lazar was right about Element 115, 354 00:18:44,460 --> 00:18:46,260 what else was he right about?" 355 00:18:47,970 --> 00:18:49,950 NARRATOR: For ancient astronaut theorists, 356 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,280 the fact that an Element 115 has now been added 357 00:18:53,370 --> 00:18:55,170 to the periodic table, 358 00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:58,230 and that scientists are already speculating 359 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,200 about how it might be used for space travel, 360 00:19:01,380 --> 00:19:05,610 seems to lend further credence to Bob Lazar’s claims. 361 00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:10,200 But if the military really did recover a stabilized version 362 00:19:10,290 --> 00:19:13,620 of Element 115 from a crashed alien craft, 363 00:19:13,710 --> 00:19:16,320 did they come upon it by chance, 364 00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:18,930 or could it have been given to us 365 00:19:19,020 --> 00:19:21,900 as part of an extraterrestrial agenda?
