CERN Researchers Claim Physicists At Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Turned Lead into Gold (Alchemy) For Fraction of a Second, But Not Permanently. CERN Researchers Achieved the Feat By Aiming Beams Of Lead At Each Other, Travelling At Close to the Speed of Light. Will Gold Become Fiat? Or Is This BS? (www.scientificamerican.com)

It's probably real, but the cost of making it permanent would likely exceed the spot price of gold. It's called turning gold into lead when the cost exceeds the value

I'll bet this development resulted in the rubbing of many hands.

  1. Energy needed to do that is astronomical and process does not scale . I.e. Does not compete with gold mining

  2. Gold is already de jure Basel III fiat , except for its elemental atomic properties industrial scientific use. In the latter metamaterials may replace it in the future , time will tell

Such alterations to the nucleus of an atom are the subject of everyday "nuclear chemistry". In "regular" chemistry, the nuclei are never changed.

Nature produces atoms only up to uranium, Element 92. All of the "transuranics" are the product of nuclear chemistry. For example, Bob Lazar's "unumpentium" is simply moscovium, the element between flerovium and livermorium, which makes it seem much less like something to ooh and ahh about.

Lead and gold are very close, nuclear chemistry-wise. Lead is defined by having 82 protons while gold has 79 protons. If you somehow knock three protons off a lead nucleus, you've got gold. The only reason they don't just "manufacture" gold is because it takes a tremendous amount of energy to knock those protons off, far more than the resulting gold could ever be worth.

So they succeeded in Alchemy?

aiming beams at each other for gold

Gold/ghel - "to shine" + beam - "ray of light"...

Turned Lead into Gold

a) Light directs beams apart. Turning against each other while being directed...temporarily shines.

To lead implies to direct...

b) Lead aka "least elastic and sonorous" + Gold aka "most ductile and malleable"...if only form (life) within flow (inception towards death) could be shaped from least elastic and sonorous towards most ductile and malleable.

Metal/mettle... https://www.etymonline.com/word/mettle

for a fraction of a second

Forwarding (inception towards death) a fraction (life) implies seco - "to divide"...

Notice that fract+ion implies the fracture of action into reactions.

Disclaimer...what was written above requires ones self dis-CERN-ment.

Do you believe in God?

I believe not in mans' defined Christian, Jewish or Muslim God. I used to, because clearly atheist are wrong based on spiritual experience I've had. But, as I have fallen from my Christian faith twice over the decades, I have grown stronger in my spirituality. With who or what? I don't know.

And that's too scary for religious people who dogmatically believe the doctrines that force them to assume I am playing with the devil, or possibly evil spirits.

I get it, and ya, it IS a dangerous area. If I didn't know years of Christianity, if I had not tried new age, native American, read the retarded ramblings of scientology, explored Buddha's teaching, etc etc then I would probably have fallen for another religious trap.

Man has fucked up spirituality, highjacked our connection to our own soul and relabel it God, or whatever deity that trends in your cultural background.

Instead, I listen to my soul when I go into deep breath work. I make up my own mantras because the act of separation from the hard coded mind is difficult to do without zoning out. And repeating nothing, pushing hard towards nothing results in stronger connection and clarity to something that could be described as God. It also feels like my father, and sometimes just feel like me, but the me that already knows everything...sometimes it's just a feeling of many people loving me, so I believe in what I know from my experiences and I'm ok with not knowing what it is.

One guy called it "the All" and that resonated well with me. I think the common theory that we are all a collective consciousness experiencing individuality could be what is actually happening.

That our bodies are biological avatars for instances of the collective soul of everything.

It makes way more sense than believing a man made book, heavily manipulated over hundreds of years by various cultures and power hungry leaders. No thanks, fuck the bible. I don't care what it says in Mathew 12 31:32, (obvious dogmatic hypocracy and speaks volumes to how the bible is just a man made tool to govern humans) but if I was to ever go back to Jesus or God, it's clear that it would be too late anyway.

Ah, feels good to explain it. Sorry that my words undermine the faith of billions of people, yourself included. I doubt you'll give up your faith for some random dude in the comments who changes his account every several months, But I learned a little bit about you over the years. You won't budge easy, yet you're open minded and really listen. You're probably slow and cautious to adapt, making you strong and steady in hard times. It's a preferred power set in my circles.

I'm more of a maven, people can't see I'm actually like you, but on the outside I look wishy washy and sporadic and half assed. I prefer to appear like that.

It was a bit personal question so thank you for sharing.

The collective conscious bit...

In a few of my dreams I was speaking a language I do not actually know. And when I woke up I found it too peculiar and strange how I could have others or even myself speaking something besides English when I only know English
