It is impossible to turn lead into gold without restructuring it at a molecular level, so no philosopher has ever achieved this feat.
Simple stone
To create lead from gold, you must first convert the gold into a lead isotope through a nuclear reaction process. This process involves bombarding the gold with high-energy particles, typically neutrons, to induce a nuclear reaction that transforms the gold atoms into lead atoms. This method is not practical for everyday applications due to its complexity and the need for specialized equipment and expertise.
