X; I don't know the process..but I do know they are working on it , when I saw that first micro wave, I had no real idea of what made it tick either. If they succeed with this gold making we won't really know about it till they get their ducks lined up. ------------------- What I wonder about is will they be able to get the patent rights, and exclude competition, bet that's a bigger problem for them than actually making it. I've heard it's already been done but not cheap enough yet. --------------------- I do know for a fact that Dow Chemical can extract it from ordinary sea water, but that for the time being is too costly, however if energy costs come down it may in time prove to be cheaper than mining it. -------------------- We already produce specialty metals that are not natural to nature, and were used back in the 60ts in the first of the Blackbirds, which by the way still holds the speed records. The first time I saw three of them in flight was about 68..I thought for sure they were UFOs , nothing could be flying that fast and they were also so high that at 3:30AM they were up in the sunlight, For 5 years most every one thought I had hallucinations. But every one on my boat saw them..( two others beside myself) and we were accused of making up the story. Damm they were faasst, and so high there was no sonic boom, and thats what puzzled me the most, and caused me to think they had to be UFOs. AT the time the Government was not talking about them. ----------------------- Yes we will make GOLD, probable already have. Other things I believe exist that we don't "KNOW" about are human clones. I think them making the sheep thingy public was just to test the waters and see how it would be accepted by the public..years from now you will likely find there were human clones produced in secret long before the public was informed. ------------------------ About Gold You sure don't expect some Government to say hey we can make GOLD for $2 an ounce while they still have any do you ? ------------------------- I said to my self 30 years ago that very few old ideas were going to work in this new world..no one was thinking of fiber optic cable at the time..at least the general public wasn't. And what about the first crude laser beam not long ago ,look were that has gone, you even have one in your CD now. --------------------------- Have you heard of the HERF gun ? ( high energy radio frequency ) It's used like a radar racon, and can take out any radar that hits it, by sending back beamed super dupper high energy pluses that will melt the the TR switch in any radar. You can bet we used them in the Gulf war. They would turn on the radars and if it so much as touched an aircraft with a HERF installed it was dead..but we let the public think smart bombs did it all. But I can't prove any of that, heck if I could I know I wouldn't be talking about it. <G> --------------------- The scary thing about the HERF gun is that even a dumb butt like me knows how to make one, and the parts are easy to come by. And it can clean a computers hard drive or a set of tapes from a very discreet distance. I have no real idea of how much harm one can do if focused on a persons head, but I tend to think it is a very serious and potentially a very deadly type of weapon, reasonable cheap to make, and delivers super energy bursts silent and invisible. Technology brings with it a power to destroy as well as create. --------------------------- There is a big problem that in out lawing them, you also tell every one how to make one, and the law won't stop the outlaws from having them. So you won't find many details on them, and I for sure will never post a set of plans. That would be totally insane, and could also bring down a bunch of heat ( rightly so too ) In this new age Gold will offer one very little security, in fact people are and have never been any more secure than their closest friend. Let me ask you, if you could make gold..would you tell the world about it, or would u just make it and discreetly sell it while you could still get a big profit on it ? I don't expect the ones who can really do it to draw us any plans or even explaine the prosess. BTW there is more Silver in the world than Buffet knows about. I expect this to be the last flash in the pan on silver, most of the applications that used a lot of silver in the past are fast being replaced. Even Xrays are going digital now. Jim
