Make your own metals - in the microwave

I only just noticed this "story", but after checking it wasn't April 1st, I read on, gobsmacked. Apparently you can make gold out of old glass - who knew? Unbelievable. I thought Kitco was supposed to be a serious website.

The article sounds convincing,

however,

I was under the impression gold was created in a supernova. Which has slightly more pressure than a modified microwave.

So I am calling hoax on this one.

Personally I'm not convinced, it seems to all stem from "research" from a Dr. John V. Milewski, and the floggging of his book via a few you tube videos. I can find no scientific peer reviewed paper nor anyone who has confirmed and repeated his experiment. Sounds like yet another con to me. And the CEO of Blue Eagle Refiners Martin Burger, has had previous companies with similar names, (now defunct) . None of which came up with the philosophers stone, of turning an ordinary item into gold.

I don't think for one second that there is anything genuine about it, just incredulous that Kitco would actually publish it as "news".

If I worked out how to make gold I'd keep it to myself, unlike other discoveries telling this one to the world would make gold worthless.

Keep it to yourself and make billions.

If it were that easy the aliens with advanced tech who came to earth to genetically engineer the local apes into us to become their gold miners could just have stayed at home. Therefore it is unlikely to be true.
