That's what all this has been about‽ Fuckin' alchemists.
- They've played us all for fools, THEY'RE CONSTRUCTING THE FIFTH ELEMENT UNDER SWITZERLAND

The Chinese discovered all five elements ages ago

the elusive fifth element:

Multipass!

Unfortunately, some of the more fundamentalist groups are going to see this as another sign the LHC is of the Devil
-
In response, scientists should do a billion more runs to generate checks notes still less than one gram of gold
-
We should put them in the LHC so they can see for themselves
-
still less than one gram of gold
the 29 picograms they made is such a small mass that it's almost a misnomer to describe it in these terms even. it's an amount that all balled up together would still be only about 1 micrometer across.

I suppose it would have technically been more accurate to say that 34 billion more runs generating 29 picograms would be still less than a gram.
Even if they somehow managed to do that many billions of runs though to get a single gram of gold, even then I don't think it would be worth trying to bother separating any of the gold generated from the other products.

Some already believe that they are opening a portal to hell in CERN and have a direct connection with the devil.

You just brought back terrible memories
