Turning lead into gold! Fact or fiction?
“Transmutation of lead into gold isn't just theoretically possible - it has been achieved!” More @

I thought some folks might be interested in this even though it is rather old news.

And it may explain why the USA went off the Gold Standard back in 1971...lol “There is an earlier report (1972) in which Soviet physicists at a nuclear research facility near Lake Baikal in Siberia accidentally discovered a reaction for turning lead into gold when they found the lead shielding of an experimental reactor had changed to gold.”

But…lol “Because lead is stable, forcing it to release three protons requires a vast input of energy, such that the cost of transmuting it greatly surpasses the value of the resulting gold.”
Unless one has a vast supply of energy they are willing to use to mess with a World Gold Standard.

Better to use a currency.

Better yet, get rid of currency altogether and use ‘electronic dollars’? Chip implanted in one’s hand that can be scanned and the person’s account can be electronically debited… whoa

How Religion Poisons Everything

Here is an ‘ear burner’ (opener?) for some religious (and non-religious theist/deist) types.
Christopher Hitchens: God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

Below is a link to a video of Hitchins addressing the Seattle Towne Hall… The content strikes right at the heart of ALL Religions, so some of you may find his remarks a bit…blasphemous and downright Unpalatable… ~rore

**Scroll down the page of the above link a bit and right clik on the little TV box...

Quote from Hitchens: “The pursuit of unfettered scientific inquiry, and the availability of new findings to masses of people by electronic means, will revolutionize our concepts of research and development.
Very importantly, the divorce between the sexual life and fear, and the sexual life and disease, and the sexual life and tyranny, can now at last be attempted, on the sole condition that we banish all religions from the discourse.
And all this and more is, for the first time in our history, within the reach if not the grasp of everyone.”
