Heaviest stable element with 5 valence electrons. Sits in Group 15, same column as Element 115. Its physics is unusually rich for a stable metal, and it recurs in the UAP claims listed below.
Unusual properties
- Anomalous diamagnetism: repels magnetic fields more strongly than any other stable element (relativistic spin-orbit coupling in heavy electrons)
- Topological insulator behaviour in certain compounds
- Electret potential: Bismuth Titanate is one of the finest Electret materials
- Multiferroic coupling: Bismuth Ferrite is simultaneously ferroelectric and magnetic
Recurring appearance in UAP research
- Bob Lazar’s Sport Model hull = electret behaviour
- Townsend Brown: a physicist, Louis Witten, recalled that Brown “claimed to have an isotope of bismuth that repelled instead of attracted”
- Garry Nolan analysing Mg-Bi UAP sample (Stanford)
- Ning Li superconductor gravitomagnetic research at Redstone Arsenal
- Hal Puthoff / ADAM Project acquired Mg-Zn-Bi metamaterials
- Charles Buhler’s electrostatic thrust experiments through his private company, Exodus Propulsion Technologies (not NASA work)
