Tech Talk with Theunis : Alchemy 2.0 – Turning Lead into Gold at CERN (Kinda)

You thought medieval alchemists were dreamers? CERN just said, "Hold my particle accelerator." This week, we dive into the bizarre but brilliant science behind how smashing atoms at nearly light speed technically lets us turn lead into gold — though you might want to keep your day job if you're planning on getting rich this way. Spoiler: the energy bill alone could bankrupt a small country.

✨ Nuclear physics, ancient dreams, and why the Large Hadron Collider isn't your average vending machine — it's all here. Tune in, nerd out.
