Is there any chance that the periodic table is wrong?

Of course it's inaccurate, wrong or what have you. We know what we know right now. And that could change in the future and usually does.
(See: fats are bad for you -->>> acutally some fats are good for you ~ Science community🙃)

Golden rule is: energy can't be created or destroyed blah blah blah, and while thats correct and accurate, it's only correct and accurate because that is our level of understanding of energy right now. And it's prolly for good reason we don't know how to destroy energy.

Words are merely ways we've devised to understand and communicate with other humans. If I'm pointing at the moon but I have no language to communicate, you don't know wtf I'm pointing at. Similarly if I have an object and then I get another one, how do I tell you that now I have 2 without having an agreed upon system of words and letters.

We aren't perfect and neither are our systems or understanding.

Not to change the subject. "But you say energy cannot be created or destroyed" actually, alot of people say that.

But if you have a bonfire going and somebody pours a bucket of water on it, it seems to me like the energy was destroyed.

Anybody care to address that?

The fire is not the energy. Fire is literally the conversion of energy. It's releasing energy in the form of heat and light from the fuel source
 
This is all late elementary and middle school science class stuff. I absolutely remember my project on inertia. My dad and I made a little car model with a test dummy inside to show how the energy is transferred and of course an object in motion will stay in motion.

So where did the energy go?
