In the older financial language, a person who pretends to be able to transform base metals, especially iron, into gold by “transmutation” (transmutation: the conversion of a base metal into a noble metal). At many German courts, goldsmiths were employed at sometimes extraordinarily favorable conditions, often even at ministerial level and with corresponding salaries. The art of goldsmithing (chrysopoia) was considered to be an honorable and respectable secret science (hermetism). – Today it is undoubtedly certain that the transformation of one element into another by chemical processes cannot be possible. It requires nuclear-physical processes working with millions of times higher energy in nuclear reactors: Facilities in which a nuclear fission reaction [nuclear fission] takes place continuously on a macroscopic, technical scale). – See Chrysopoeia, Financial Alchemy, Money Man, Philosopher’s Stone.
