As useful as poo flavored pudding pops. Isn't Stephen Hawking 70? Put a pillow over my face if i'm ever that messed up.

Because some chemists had done "stupid science" in trying to make as many of the 123 oxides as possile. After it was clear that their properties are exciting, they could jst make batches at will...

Basic science can look very boring, but we just don't know what lies behind the corner, that's the point of research.
