Did you know there was a news artical a while ago about Nasa keeping information of about at least 2XX earth-like planets away from the public?

Kinda late, but It's all good.

they're secretly sending criminals to make a penal colony in a new sector of the galaxy, they are put through a rigorous rehabilitation camp and come out cleaner than soap.

Nah, they're planning to mine some minerals on that planet, but they'll discover a blue alien species that refuses to remove from the spot which happened to be the site of the rarest mineral inthe universe.

ON TOPIC: Uh, I wonder why no one proposed that life exists there already.

Is there a chance that the periodic table might expand with the discovery of new planets ?

It's always possible. There's a chance that Earth contains at least one atom of every type of element (most of which we haven't discovered yet) and there's an even higher chance that there's more in the universe that we had no idea existed. Who knows? The laws of physics can even be broken elsewhere in the universe. xP

iirc isnt already the accepted norm that the laws of physics that we know of only apply to our solar system/galaxy? all of this is of course a theory, though.

Technically, it just applies to Earth, as we haven't exactly had manned exploration on other planets.

thank you for finally bringing this up.

we've yet to do more than land on the moon. this a great discovery, but our generation, nor i doubt the next two generations to come, will see anything come of it.

The periodic table includes every element from Hydrogen with 1 proton to Uunoctium with 118 protons, which is synthetic and so incredibly unstable and hard to make that they've only detected 3 atoms of it since 2002. You would need a whole extra shell of electrons to add another element. So no.

Physics definitely is not limited to earth. Universal gravitation, anyone?
