Hum... The width of each row increases exponentially with their number.

It's probably just some ~1m away from the small elements. At least on the vertical.

Shouldn't they be element 0 as they dont have any protons?

@janus2 yes, put them in there. also we need to include every single isotope out there.

Probably This Table in Future will use circles instead of squares. Where in the middle circle are the Hydrogen and Helium, next layer has next atoms that are on the 2nd layer, etc.

If we were to expand the periodic table to include them. would the poster fit within the planet? solar system?universe?

Depends on the font

Do they have 0 protons? Because if they do, they should be in the spot above helium

No the ratio of protons neutrons electrons is assumed to be 1:8:1 in the article. It's a fun read

Now add a neutron star.
