They're quantum elements, entangled inside regular elements but out of phase with normal physics.  You don't even know they're there unless you have instruments with extreme sensitivity, and you need to know what you're looking for anyway.  Maybe when the entire periodic table is finished we'll have a model of what is possible and find holes in the model where stuff should exist.  Looking for that unlocks the weird stuff.

Wait, wait wait- so you're saying that even the Trans-Newtonian elements are within the realm of possibilities in real life?

". . .  We know nothing about them, their language, their history or what they look like.  But we can assume this.  They stand for everything we don't stand for.  Also they told me you guys look like dorks. "

Note the big gap between Hydrogen and Helium in the standard layout of periodic table.

This talk of transnewtonian elements makes me wish that the Newtonian Aurora was still being worked on or at least that Steve would find better, more subtle handwavium.
Seriosuly, you go through all this trouble to makes your space game feel alive and plausible and then you have this.
