What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

You remind me of those kids doing homework and asking questions on phys.org, and clutching straws as they sink. This is an atheist site, and you aren't proving shit about your smarts with the shit you post about physics.

There are no naturally occurring processes that produce new gold

You forgot the qualifier “on earth”.

But even that qualifier may not be enough to make the statement strictly true, because there are laboratory processes which bombard atoms of mercury or another nearby element with neutrons to create atoms of gold, and such process can conceivably be replicated in nature, albeit under rare circumstances.

I see. So a process to naturally form gold on Earth is conceivable but rare (even though there is no known mechanism by which this could take place), but dragons are right out. How selective of you.

I taught at a Waldorf school for two years because I had found little else for gainful employment for school years '94-'96. There was a line in some of the literature about how humans were gold and silver, since those elements were made in stars. Yet the senior teachers said not to talk about how the local sun was intensely radioactive, and that it just provided warmth. I will say that a lot of what they did made sense, but then a lot of it was complete bullshit.

Had to look that up. OMG, you have my sympathies.

Thanks, Jerry. You're fired!
