Uh oh, not looking good for gold bugs
Uh oh, not looking good for gold bugs
Converts 1 atom at exceedingly high cost
Goldbears will defend this
this tech will never improve
Sounds like scarcity is a thing of the past and money/currency is no longer necessary. RIP to anyone invested in anything
we live next to infinite energy star scarcity was ALWAYS defined by our gravity well
this tech will never improve
this, but unironically.
This technology (colliders) exists for decades already and so far it gave zero (0) benefits to Humanity besides creating jobs for physics PhDs.
Silver chads keep winning.
Seriously thinking that advancing science has no benefit to humanity

Avalon miner does 0.1TH at exceedingly high cost
cryptocucks will defend this
benefit
Such as?
gold nuclei
Literally believng this massively funded pseudo-science scam LMAO. They're literally playing with a Lite Brite board
Proofs this method will ever be viable? Gonna spend hundreds of billions and decades building a bigger collider to mint atoms at a time that, most likely, won't ever recoop your cost?
converts one atom of lead into gold
only costs $100k in energy per minute
Boomer rocks will never recover.
Oh don't worry, it'll tear open the gates of Hell in a few years so there'll be plenty of job openings for Doomguys willing to rip and tear.
We've been able to convert lead into gold for a long time. The issue has always been that it has a very brief half-life and breaks down into lead again. This is not the first experiment that has yielded these results, it's just the first time that it's been done with this particular technology.
faggot advancing science and understanding of the universe is the benefit. All your modern shit is an outcrop of that ethos. You think computers came down fully formed from heaven ? Or antibotics just fell into your mothers vagina?
Supermagnet advances have lead to improvement in medical imaging as a result of large collidors, so has for proton therapy for cancer.
what are the heaviest elements they can smash together? Uranium?
We're living in a sin simulator. Lucifer challenged God that people with free will would choose to turn away from Him. God created this place for us, to let the truth unfold. Lucifer and the fallen angels are allowed to torment and misguide us, so that we can be tested. Its Gods beautiful reality, filled with unholy sinners and unholy obstacles from Satan
People don't realize they're participating in God's test. A higher power is observing your behavior, evaluating your moral character and seeing how you handle your struggles. There is a reason the Bible talks about "The Truth" so much. Its because even modern physicists are faced with evidence that Einstein's theories about the fabric of time and space aren't quite right. Science will never have all the answers and we must look elsewhere for the root source of truth. Look up the crisis in cosmology or wave-particle duality
what are the heaviest elements they can smash together?
Your two lesbian moms.
build a device 17 miles long
invest billions of taxpayer dollars
make 1 (one) atom of gold
sharks, i'm asking
The ability to efficiently knock 3 protons out of a lead atom to convert to gold would be an amazing achievement. The tech is similar to what a Star Trek replicator can do or the devices the Foundation scientists use.
It was done decades ago by Glenn Seaborg. It's not meant to be a practical method of producing bulk quantities of gold, rather a research technique
make more people who exist as eternal debt slaves to the state and simps for women who will never fuck them
Wow thanks science!
Actually on closer inspection this is quite a different technique, and produced hundreds of billions of gold nuclei, as opposed to a few thousand using the old methods.
phys.org
They use near-miss interactions rather than requiring direct collisions.
Quite interesting
Oh wait nvm
Gold nuclei emerge from the collision with very high energy and hit the LHC beam pipe or collimators at various points downstream, where they immediately fragment into single protons, neutrons and other particles. The gold exists for just a tiny fraction of a second.
It's radioactive isotopes.
this is some type of cryptic message about the LHC unlocking an inter-dimensional portal or able to somehow transport us to alternative realities or something. Alchemy has always been about the philosopher stone which is allegory of a self transformation of the person into an enlightened individual.
in an infinite universe there is an infinite amount of gold, buy bitcoin instead. even the token that can't be named is a smarter play than gold
they will never stop finding ever smaller particles. its like a toy to distract a small child, give him something to endlessly do.
Okay, so now we know gold can't exceed the price of one quadrillion dollars per kilogram because then element transmutation would become profitable
Faggot thats capitalism not science . Imagine waking up and being this retarded.
The philosopher stone. Timelines changed.
When they convert an atom to bitcoin and it gets onto the bitcoin blockchain tell me about it
You should be thankful someone has tampered with the matrix. There definitely used to be an option to report schi/x/o posts.
Literally alchemy, what the flying fuck is going on at the LHC? I can't even believe it, lead into gold? Do you have any fucking clue in the world of the amount of people who historically tried converting less valuable metals into gold? It has been tried for just about the entire known history and it never worked, now some söys are converting lead into gold as a consequence of wanting to figure out about the big bang?
this is probably true
also, there is less excuse to be evil and selfish today than there was in the past when life was harder.
life is much easier now with running water, electricity, airplanes and everything which makes the modern world what it is.
making money is not evil per se. you can always share money, help your family, help sick people get better etc.
philosopher's stone unlocked after linkies receive space and time, tokeni
tokenized*
Neutron capture to beta minus decay has been known about for a very long time and is also "literally alchemy" in the sense that neutron bombardment results in atoms moving up the periodic table.
It's just that the energy needed to generate a significant amount of gold from lead with neutron bombardment will never be cost effective, not to mention the cost of separating it from all the other radioactive isotopes you'd generate.
