Periodic Table Gets Two New Elements

These would be elements 114 and 116. Each is ephemeral in duration upon creation existing for a second or less, yet nevertheless important milestones on the way to the construction of new elements that may last 'decades'.

Because of relativity and time, new elements may play important roles in relation to investigations into the nature of time and space (I made that up yet it seems possible). One might bind atoms of space-if they exist, to new structures of atoms yet to be synthesized (more fiction).
