And it's about time this happened. Now then, we just need to find a way to make synthetic gold for it's various electronic advantages.
Of course, synthetic doesn't mean fake. It's exactly like the real thing down to the atomic level, just made differently. Most nerds here realize that, but the general public seems to have this ignorant stigma against processed stuff, or synthetic stuff, or ooh, chemicals! Synthetic just means SAME thing found in nature but man made (well sometimes, sometimes it really is just a fake item), processing is VERY needed, as you wouldn't want unprocessed oil for instance, and is hardly some horrible unhealthy evil thing, and chemicals, well WATER is a chemical!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
