Special materials found on UFOs found to be due to quantum mechanics and special relativistic chemical affects.

will resolve yes if UFO materials found to deviate from Periodic table patterns due to quantum effects.

@EdwardYu What do you mean by "special relativistic chemical affects"? I don't see the relationships between relativistic and chemical effects or how they could possibly be related. If particles are moving at relativistic speeds to each other they can't interact chemically. They would just smash each other apart.

Same for having materials deviate from the periodic table due to quantum effects. As I understand it, a lot of the patterns of behavior of elements on the periodic table are already caused by quantum effects. What kinds of deviations are you imagining? New elements, or existing elements behaving differently, or what?

predicts YES

@MetallicDragon Full disclosure, I made these markets really high.

The way I understand it is the quantum forces on an atom change due to relativistic effects. Thus changing an element's properties. These effects might be more pronounced with heavier elements.

This can be predicted to change how the element would otherwise be predicted to act per the periodic table - a deviation.

I'm leaving the deviations open to imagination. The deviations that come to my imagination are maybe the properties of heavier elements above 100.
Binding this market to UFO related news or research is probably this market's weakest point.
