My problem with the slave mining is this


Wouldnt it be easier to simply make machines that mine? They wouldnt need to rest and wouldnt rebel. Also a race that has the ability to traverse the universe would be beyond the need to mine gold. If for some reason they werent then im sure they would have a grasp on manipulating matter and could create their own.

True... and I read not long ago they found a planet completely made of diamond... i imagine there may be a world made of gold as well... not wouldnt that be a girls best friend?!

Is there anything else you are sure of? Did we really go to the moon? Who shot JFK? Was 911 an inside job and who should we blame? Since you seem to know everything please help me with these answers as well, thank you.

Its way easier to just make gold that to fly all the way here and genetically modify a life form to dig it up for you. Im sure if they had the technology to come here and mess with complex life they would know how to just make the stuff. If we have known how to make gold at our present level of technology for 70 years its not going to be a problem for advanced aliens.

- Gold synthesis from mercury

Gold obtained by mining has copper and silver impurities. Gold of higher purity can be made through the photoneutron process:

Mercury 198 + 6.8MeV gamma ray to 1 neutron + Mercury 197 (half-life 2.7 days to Gold 197 + 1 positron)

These energy levels allow a more efficient neutron source than the Spallation Neutron Source.


- Gold synthesis in an accelerator

Gold synthesis in a particle accelerator is possible in many ways. The Spallation Neutron Source has a liquid mercury target that will be transmuted into gold, platinum, and iridium, which are lower in atomic number.


- Gold synthesis in a nuclear reactor

Gold was first synthesized from mercury by neutron bombardment in 1941, but the isotopes of gold produced were all radioactive.

Gold can currently be manufactured in a nuclear reactor by irradiation either of platinum or mercury. Since platinum is more expensive than gold, platinum is economically unsuitable as a raw material.

Only the mercury isotope 196Hg, which occurs with a frequency of 0.15% in natural mercury, can be converted to gold by neutron capture, and following electron capture-decay into 197Au with slow neutrons. Other mercury isotopes are converted when irradiated with slow neutrons into one another or formed mercury isotopes, which beta decay into thallium.

Using fast neutrons, the mercury isotope 198Hg, which composes 9.97% of natural mercury, can be converted by splitting off a neutron and becoming 197Hg, which then disintegrates to stable gold. This reaction, however, possesses a smaller activation cross-section and is feasible only with un-moderated reactors.

It is also possible to eject several neutrons with very high energy into the other mercury isotopes in order to form 197Hg. However such high-energy neutrons can be produced only by particle accelerators

Interesting. Can gold from different Starz be somehow different in a metaphysical chemical way? So what ever STAR* that the Earth gold came from could it be or have been a unique STAR also where did that star ascend at and did it leave a nebula or black hole?
