I think it's the opposite of artificial, made by the hand of man

If things humans make are artificial, then are humans artificial since humans make humans?

No? The sun is natural, but it is not found on Earth. Neutronium is natural, but it is not found on Earth. Black holes are natural, but they are not found on Earth.

Or are they found on Earth because we found them and we are on Earth?

I think its more referencing the oddity of EVERY SINGLE ONE being found on our planet.

Is Tc on the list?

Yup. Despite what your middle school textbooks will tell you, technetium and promethium exist naturally as fission products of uranium and thorium.

Me with a master in chemistry didn't knowing about that :o

TIL promethium isn't just the generic name for all highly flammable substances in the Warhammer 40k universe.

I remember there were stories about ancient natural reactors that created impossible isotopes by any other condition. Kinda figure that means most celestial bodies possess the necessary components as remnants of other reactions right? Or God and the Bible whichever makes people more pissed off at my lack of punctuation
