Take THAT, periodic table!

I know practically nothing about chemistry. This bugs me. Sure, I have a degree in physics somehow, and I quite vividly remember my Quantum mechanics professor at the conclusion of PHY485 stating that "we have now explained the entire periodic table with our understanding of quantum mechanics." Strangely, that sentence is on ONLY thing I remember from quantum physics.

Thinking back, I wish I had a good excuse for not remembering anything. Maybe I was drunk a lot? Maybe I had too many girlfriends? Maybe I was too busy on the internet? Well, as you might know, the internet was not yet available to distract me at that time, and the other excuses are even more flimsy. All I can think of is that the periodic table was not this cool back then. Not so French. If it had only been presented as something that looked like a data center tape storage thing, or perhaps a solar panel array, things might have turned out differently. Or perhaps not.

Note: For those on the State of Kansas board of education the periodic table is only a theory and as such can never be 100% proven without a doubt, this is in contrast to earth, water, air, and fire of which the Bible makes us certain.
