minus-squarePatapon Enjoyer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up79·edit-22 years agoI think you’ll lose like 5 grams from the protons, more cause you might have to remove a couple of neutrons?
minus-squareroguetrick@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up81·edit-22 years agoThat’s the fun part. If you take just one proton off, you’ll often end up with some gold that just decays back into mercury in a few days. Sell it for a quick prank. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_gold
minus-squareBossDj@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·2 years agoI’m a third generation proton plucker myself. Some day, my children’s children’s children may have a good laugh when they finish this bar.
minus-squareTonyTonyChopper@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 years agoyou can find Hg 198 for sale actually. So if you’re a morally pure alchemist you can make the stable isotope of gold
minus-squarethreelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-22 years agoHow much does isotopically pure ^(198)Hg cost though? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more expensive than gold…
minus-squareSethayy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 years agoMore like put em all together and get even more gold
minus-squarePennomi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·2 years agoAnybody have advice for shoving a bunch of protons together? I keep trying but they always fly away from each other.
minus-squareI Cast Fist@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·2 years agoPut some sugar on a magnet, that always works
minus-squareTheYear2525@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·2 years agoJust a spoon full of strong force helps the proton stay down
minus-squareSethayy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·2 years agoYeah just turn up the close nuclear forces a bit and they’ll zoom right together
minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years agoYou have to hold them close for a little bit, and let those positrons vent away.
