Nick,

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the island of stability thesis.  I
read that they expect to create element 119 fairly soon, and that it
will in turn decay into elements 117 and 115 respectively.  No one
knows what the decay time of those elemenst will be.  I'd say the
jury is still out as far as the possibility of creating superheavy,
stable elements.  Time will tell.
