Wasn’t Red Mercury part of a Spooks episode? Ether had been my favourite non-existent element…till I heard about Red Mercury! It is one of the more recent pseudo-elements right? A post 50’s woo-woo elements list would be fun!

I hadn’t heard of phlogiston (what a great name!). I could have added ether and ectoplasm as well. And manna! Spoilt for choice, really…

Phlogiston would be another excellent entry. Of course, that would make six, good for another time. There are many more as well.

Very interesting, thanks for that. I wasn’t aware of these substances and their related stories.

Perhaps Phlogiston may be added?
