An interesting simulation. I’d imagine there are a handful of elements that are much easier to do this with without gold being the final destination and are therefore less appealing to the headline machine.

Sounds great. I can’t wait for the price of gold to crash. There are so many applications that would benefit from having a cheap chemically inert metal. Also, the electrical conductivity is pretty amazing, so I don’t think the demand for gold is going down any time soon.

As it stands, gold is way too expensive, and we’ve had to come up with all sorts of exotic alternatives to it. The obvious choice has been sitting in front of our noses all this time, but price has prevented us from actually using it very much.

This reeks of perpetual motion.

It’s the philosopher’s stone!

Alchemy really has come a long way.
