Oganesson, bending  
                time inside

Wanting an island of stability 
when looking for elements, 
we found the opposite instead: 
superheavy elements 
that blink out of existence. 
I fear 118 may be the end: 
supercharged electrons in this noble gas 
travel near the speed of light, so 
time & space bends inside them instead.
