      This was the idea by alchemy. They thought you could change one element into another. Lead to gold and so forth, but not so easy in medieval Europe

          Don’t be daft, of course they have tweezers back then.

          They don’t have plastic yet.

          You can make gold from hydrogen too! Just gotta put enough of it into one place so it forms a large star, then wait for it to go supernova.

      Yeah but it would cost more and take an exorbitant amount of time (like billions of years) to produce anything of value, let alone profit.
