IUPAC currently recognises 118 chemical elements. The last twenty have half-lives shorter than Australian prime ministers, and are of equally limited utility to science.

This is problematic, because 7.82 × 10^52^ meters is about 10^37^ lightyears, and the universe is currently estimated to span a mere 93 billion lightyears.
