When scientists create new element: world in awe; soda makers make a new flavor: everyone takes for granted. Shows the pretentiousness of people.

I don't want to be the annoying guy, but scientists cannot actually create a new element, they can just discover it

This. Also I don't think it's true - not many people usually notice the findings of new elements anyway

Most new elements are scientists just added another p+ to an already heavy atom to get a bigger, more radioactive element, so it’s just going to be a small amount in some lab. Not many people are going to interact with it.

Doesnt adding a p+ causes the atom to link to another?

Maybe in other environments, I’m not educated on that part, but in a controlled area scientists definitely have create/discovered new atoms- search up Ununtrium (Uut)

That's how they teach it through high school to make it easier to understand. In reality, all elements were created by scientists

In the peroidic table there is a suited group of elements artificially created, but most of them are findable in nature

Because scientists originally made them and they reproduced and populated the world

Not true. Discovering something is not the same as creating it.
