Alchemy!!!
 

Only for a split second, but still impressive.

I saw an article about that the other day, but didn't read it. It's going to be slow going if it's a few atoms at a time.

And the resulting dose rates from the hadron interactions with the lead will likely kill you. Or the whole reaction will be so short-lived that you better spend it quickly. ;)

The applications for this technology is unlimited.
Stripping protons to change an element.
As research continues this tech will be easier to control.

The thunderstorm generator uses similar tech.
But instead of the hadron collider, it uses geometry to accelerate the particles.
The geometry just happens to be the same angles used in the pyramids.

Fascinating!!

I read the gold atoms only lasted milliseconds, so they will never make enough to even see the gold, much less make it a stable quantity. OK, maybe not never, but no time soon for sure. And likely the overhead to make the gold is a few orders of magnitude more expense than the gold will ever be worth.

Neat experiment however.

Here we go again...

Yup, people with nothing to contribute commenting on something they don't understand.

Big picture isn't creating gold, it's creating new elements that we can't even comprehend yet.
Potentially energy, conductors, insulators, ???

Pretty cool stuff.

The periodic table of elements is pretty well figured out. A new stable element would be extremely unlikely.

Not much is impossible, but unlikely in the extreme.

Some of those elements were recently created, such as 117.
I'm guessing there are others just waiting their turn.

"Tennessine (Ts) is element 117 on the periodic table, a synthetic, radioactive, and superheavy element. It was officially named in recognition of the contributions of Tennessee-based institutions to its discovery, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vanderbilt University, and the University of Tennessee. "

Richard Feynman is said to have invoked relativity to predict the end of the periodic table at element 137. To Feynman, 137 was a “magic number”—it had popped up for no obvious reason elsewhere in physics. His calculations showed that electrons in elements beyond 137 would have to move faster than the speed of light, and thus violate the rules of relativity, to avoid crashing into the nucleus.

More are possible in theory, just less and less likely.

There’s a ton of theoretical elements.


A few atoms of gold… 1 g of gold contains approx. 3.06 × 10²¹ atoms.

What was the cost of the energy required to produce those short-lived atoms of gold????

I'm sure Elon will make it work.......

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

Which Pyramid? They all have varying ratios, even the Great Pyramids of Giza to each other as I recall from my own ancient history (Architectural classes).

Square pyramid vs octahedral?


Symmetry is a fun game.

Symmetry has the same number of syllables as Alchemy!

There's no way that's just a coincidence!!

It’s NOT,,,,

It’s coherance.

I'll give you credit, the only links you've used in this thread (so far...) have been ABC News. Not the best source for cutting edge science talk, but WAYYYYYYY better than random Facebook videos.

Very interesting read Glen, thanks for the link.
I don't understand all this stuff but am very excited to see how things progress.
From your link:

“I think we’re a long way off from the end of the periodic table,” says Scerri. “The limiting factor right now seems to be human ingenuity.”
