The dream of the ancient alchemists may come true as Marathon Fusion announces that its tokamak fusion reactor technology can turn common mercury into gold as a byproduct of fusion operations in quantities that would make Auric Goldfinger blush.
It’s the perpetual motion machine that laid the golden egg…
Yes, they can create gold with nuclear reactors. Many years ago when I first learned about this, I recall it being unstable (turned back into lead) and radioactive, though.
I assume they worked the bugs out ages ago.
Gold is not worth anything. Humans assigned a value. It’s all made up.
Electronics. Prior to electronics, what you said may have been somewhat true. But now gold has a real purpose.
Gold does have a purpose, my point is that the value of gold, paper money, diamonds, caviar, etc. is assigned and not a real number.
