>Marathon Fusion, a San Francisco-based fusion start-up has said that it turned mercury into “real, stable gold,” beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10. The San Francisco startup announced the result on social media platform X on October 21.https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/cons-products/fashion-/-cosmetics-/-jewellery/lab-grown-gold-to-crash-prices-san-franciscos-marathon-fusion-just-turned-mercury-into-yellow-metal/articleshow/135137712.cms?from=mdr

>>62817894>magic alchemy>The underlying physics has been demonstrated at CERN. Between 2015 and 2018
>>62817902Marathon Fusion's business model is energy. The gold production is a side bonus from turning a specific and rare isotope of mercury into radioactive gold that has to settle for decades before it's usable. The media takes it and runs with it because the fund managers fucking hate gold with all their guts because there's no yield for them to scoop. And /biz/ loves to parrot them with zero knowledge of the process because that's how /biz/ rolls. Putting money into bullshit they know nothing about.
>>62817879How much does it cost to make one ounce? That should be the new price floor.
>>62817894I'm confused. Isn't turning mercury into gold literally game changing? Like what if they make silver too? Now we'd never run out of industrial metals. So what use case is there now for stacking metals?
>>62818074Answer this >>62818063
>lab grown gold
The process to change isotope mercury 198 to gold 197 via requires a minimum of 8.5 MeV per atom. 1 kg of gold would require the energy input of about 15,000 tons of TNT, or about 1/15 of a Hiroshima nuclear detonation. The gold produced would be radioactive for several decades before becoming inert. This does not include the input energy from securing mercury 198 which is already rare on its own. No idea what the equipment would cost to even perform the endothermic reaction would be, but it's not a very commercially viable sounding process.
In other words, the process is orders of magnitude less efficient than just regularly mining 3,000 tons of the damn stuff annually.
>>62818074It take high EQ to con STEM cell into surrender their hard earned money.
>>62818097This is too much information for op, since he is retarded.
>>62818097wtb radioactive gold, pmg will be so jealous
>>62817879Speaking as an old-school Bitcoiner, I've got no problem with gold. I have a bunch of it myself.Diversification is a good thing.
Afrimerica has too export all its gold because no one wants cuck dollars, but it's ok they can just magically create more LMAO
>india timesSAAR YOU BUY CRYPTO??
>>62817879>literal jeetYep
>>62817879Gold chuds were real cocky at one point and were shitting all over crypto for a few weeks. Funny how they all disappeared back to their cuck corner thread
>>62817879Stop making these threads pajeet>>62818366
>>62818104I don't think you understand compounding technology. We know it's possible now. There will be interest or discoveries to make the process more efficient. Eventually it will get to a ceiling where it's impractical or the default method of getting gold.
>>62817879Don’t get cocky bitcoiners, ai will hack bitcoin. We’re all going to zero together!!
>>62818497I don't think you understand the limiting factor of this process is the scarcity of mercury 198.
>>62818097But aren't you ignoring possible improvements in the process? Diamonds felt sharply after artificial diamonds were a thing.Yes right now it's not viable, but in 5 years? 10 years?
>>62822174>pipe dreams
>>62817879Do you know that AI will crack Bitcoin encryption within a year? Hope you're ready for that.
>>62818097Based knower.>>62822174>possible improvements in the processThere's very little that can be done to improve the efficiency of a process when it requires that sort of energy at a fundamental level. It's like asking "if we're running out of oil, why can't we just make it in a lab?"
>>6281806345 million
>>62818063BRUTAL BIZ NUKE LMFAO
>>62817879>eating CERN’s record by a factor of 10what's 10 times 0?
>>62818097>mercury 198 which is already rareNot that rare, about 10% of natural mercury.
>>62817879Nuclear transmutation of some other element into gold has a vastly greater energy expenditure than simply extracting gold from sea water.
>>62817879Wrong cern has done nothing and good was created by nat soca not jews and. Freemasonic git cern is bolshevik zio spies and enroncon artists not science
