@Geekdemon- ‘embedded in acrylic’. Either you don’t read, or you don’t know what acrylic is. If you’re going to call yourself a geek, you really should behave like one.

@Dan – you mentioned how many starving people $8.5k could feed. Let me ask you this: if you had $8,500 right now, would you go and actually use it to feed starving people?

I have just decimated your well-thought-out point. Qed, bitch.

haha wow, thats stupid, i mean its cool to see all the elements n such, but cmon keep the cost down you only need on atom to say you have a sample. plus they dont even have the bad ass REALLY rare elements that our gaverment keeps for creation death tools. zoloz
if i had the money to buy this i would rather buy a table made of Cristal

Nice, nice idea. Next step is to make it with LCD screen instead of acrilic panel.

It looks like the radioactive ones, just have the radioactive symbol, same for those that decay quickly.

Also, chemical physics major… so this makes me all tingly and warm inside. As soon as I am out of uni… and grad school. And pay off my student loans. I am so buying one of these bad boys. Really cool, nice post

this is cool but it going to be scary if the glass got broke and all the element mix in at once. very unpredictable type of accident(unless do math in chemistry), I can’t wait to read newspaper about it

They have EVERY element? Even those ones that we’ve made 4 atoms of ever and decay in 10^-13 seconds?

@Dan

That is why you have no general concept of the economy.

They charge whatever the market will bear, they don’t simply guess a price and set it at that.

Just because somebody has money doesn’t mean they should be spending it all on the poor. If we had it your way, we would all enjoy the quality of life expected in the USSR.

well dan for a start a lot of those elements r preety expensive and also there is the part of securing them all in the clear resin and all that so u dont get toxic coffee and die
but god point about the waste of money….. cheap version… buy a noraml coffee table and find an A3 copy of the periodic table an glue it on … there u go nice an easy xD

Way too expensive for a decorate piece. That’s insane. It’s like that rich guy who spent $10k on an umbrella stand. Think how many starving people you could feed with $8.5k and you’d rather spend it on a *table*? I don’t even understand why they’d charge that much; those tiny samples can’t all add up that kind of money.
