Is our periodic table complete?

The periodic table is complete for all known elements and has no gaps that could be filled with unknown elements. However the periodic table is inherently open ended, additional radioactive elements can in principle always be added beyond the most massive known element if we create them in particle accelerators (such elements may have also been created in the initial moments of supernova explosions). However all of these new elements are very difficult to create and even more difficult to detect and verify once created as they decay back to known lighter elements almost instantly.


Roughly how many elements are there?
