Turning stars into gold

ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY NEWS RELEASE
Posted: April 6, 2001

Neutron stars are sometimes found close together in pairs and Dr. Rosswog has calculated what happens when these binary stars are close enough to collide. In addition to a huge amount of energy released - enough to fuel the most powerful explosions in the Universe (known by astronomers as gamma-ray bursts) - he has found that a large quantity of gold and platinum is made and thrown out into space.

Maurice,

Can we develop some sort of CDMA-driven gadget to go out and collect this extra gold lying around in deep space?
