Hold up how much do all the protons you removed weigh? You get less than 1kg of gold at the end

Krukenberg,
Malgas,

0.995 kg of gold and 5g of protium

Actually less than that because only around 10% of the gold created this way (assuming a natural distribution of Hg isotopes) would be stable, so you’d get a bunch of β particles too. I don’t even know how Au-201 would act, and it would comprise 30% of the output.

Aurenkin,

Yeah I think there were some folks who thought about splitting the atom right? I forget who.

Anyway, now I am become wealth, buyer of worlds.
