Re: The philosopher's stone

Dear Bathalang,

The short answer is no. The medium answer is that it might be possible - you just have to remove one proton from the nucleus and the corresponding electron - but however you do it, it would cost more than the gold product would be worth. The long answer isn't given because of the first two answers and it is simply theoretical.

Best regards,s

Steven
