Chris Noeth & James Goguen Post 1

Chris Noeth & James Goguen
Transmuter from Foundation

'With this machine,' began Ponyets, as his hand dropped softly onto the central chamber and caressed its hard, round flanks, 'I can turn the iron you discard into gold of the finest quality' (Asimov, pg 156)

This technology could be a huge part of life in future years if scientists can become smart enough to develop such a machine.

Is it feasible?
Yes it is definitely possible although it likely will not happen for many many years.

Why did you pick the transmuter?
We picked the transmuter because it relates to our class so much considering we just read a book where an entire section of the book was about this device.

How could it be used?
To make money or gold and help fight world poverty in turn fighting world hunger and making the world a better place.

Are there ethical questions about it?
None that I can see.
