### Comment:
Actually we can synthesize gold, but not out of thin air lol. Nuclear reactions and particle accelerators can be used to transmutate for example mercury into gold. Currently the process is not economically efficient but it’s not impossible. Over time it’s likely that we will be able to synthesize gold fairly easily but that’s dependent on the pace of technological advancement.

By over time, you mean less than an ounce, at a cost of 4 quadrillion dollars.
