So /sci/, why haven't you accepted tungsten as the master element yet?

>Still ductile in its pure form

Helium is a strong contender. Rare on earth, common in the universe. God tier fluid for any thermodynamic application. God tier coolant. Absolutely necessary for all high-tech science toys.

Never freezes unless you expose it to extreme pressures.

Common in the universe, but in short supply on earth. It's so light that atmospheric helium will evaporate into space, since at room temperature it has a significant chance of being exited to escape velocity. Most helium on earth is from alpha decay, and didn't escape because it was trapped in pockets underground.

The Helium-3 isotope is an ideal fusion fuel, while Helium-4 is doubly magic and extremely stable, which is why alpha-radiation exists(and can be seen as the most common form of spontaneous fission).

All heavy atoms in your body were helium at some point.

Confirmed for god tier element.

Took course on metallurgy and metals in general, aced, most of his claims are true but fail to demonstrate any superiority of one metal over the other,speaking realistically and with scarcity in mind. If it came down to it, Fe and Al are the top contenders for any large percentage of an alloy. The addition of tungsten does the aforementioned effects on these metals as well. As for the malleability/ductility claim...not sure what think.
