 Writing Assignment

You are about to embark upon a new adventure. Your goal is to discover an element to complete the yet unfinished periodic table. At first, you are unsure of where you should start your quest. Then, you remember deBroglie’s prediction of the uncertainty of the electron’s location may have led to the experiment by Haroche and Wineland that proved exist in two places simultaneously. Since you now know that teleportation is possible, you will use it to talk to scientists that have long since died. They will guide you on your quest to find new elements. Before you begin, ask yourself what each scientist can tell you about matter, elements, and the periodic table as he/she knew at the time.

Your paper should be narrative but not conversational. You must talk to at least three atomic scientists and three periodic table scientists.
