Alchemy... Or something like it

Chemistry Level 2

As you all know, many great scientists have tried to turn normal metals into gold using various methods. Of course, I can hear you chuckle when you read that sentence. However, even the mega-genius Isaac Newton tried to do this with completely non scientific methods. Now, one scientist has done this. He is Ernest Rutherford. He managed to turn platinum into gold. However, why isn't anyone using this method to become rich?

The machine needs tons of fuel The amount of gold obtained is very less than the amount of platinum used It works very rarely The machine is too complex Platinum is more expensive than gold

Platinum is more expensive. Although I think there are more reasons too.

I’ve heard that it is because the amount you put in for the process outweighs the amount you get put of it. 🤔🤔
