And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:19.809 --> 00:09:23.549 science. A nuclear fusion startup based in San 00:09:23.549 --> 00:09:26.629 Francisco claims it can create gold from mercury, 00:09:26.830 --> 00:09:31.230 potentially making alchemy a reality. While the 00:09:31.230 --> 00:09:34.470 company, Marathon Fusion, has outlined its method 00:09:34.470 --> 00:09:37.450 in a paper not yet peer -reviewed, it involves 00:09:37.450 --> 00:09:41.299 bombarding Mercury -198. with energetic neutrons 00:09:41.299 --> 00:09:45.340 to produce mercury -197, which eventually decays 00:09:45.340 --> 00:09:49.620 into gold -197. However, sheeting this process 00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:52.980 requires extreme conditions, including a significant 00:09:52.980 --> 00:09:58.519 neutron flux. Experts remain skeptical, as the 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.539 commercial viability of fusion reactors is still 00:10:01.539 --> 00:10:04.720 years away, leaving humanity's alchemical dreams 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:09.210 largely confined to paper. Nonetheless, the future 00:10:09.210 --> 00:10:15.529 of fusion energy may hold promise.
